Just a suggestion: You can also buy used marimbas in great conditions from other drum corps because they sell them after every season... I remember seeing instruments for sale recently on the santa clara vanguard website, i think. Usually high schools get their hands on them, because they are cheaper and come with the field endurance frames. The Adams 4.3 Zelon sounds like a good choice... and you should definitely NOT invest in rosewood for outdoor use, and padouk is worse for it warps quickly. I don't think a 5.0 octave is necessary (but if you have the money and want to drag that huge instrument everywhere, by all means go ahead), but I think 2 4.3 octave marimbas would be fine, in addition to a pit with xylophone and vibes as well. I also recommend the Yamaha 4.3 Acoustalon.
