COBRA quote is huge, any alternatives? - first time posting

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. How did you decide?

I priced both side by side: total yearly cost, doctors in network and the deductible. Marketplace was cheaper for us, but only because our doctors were covered.

Check what the notice says about the election period and when coverage starts. Mine allowed a short window to choose.
