The Marine Stabil site only indicates that it has more detergent and anti corrosive vs. the red. And, because you use the Marine formula at 1/2 the rate vs. the red, one of these components (can't remember) equals out to be the same as the red.
Mamala boy, I am intriqued that you only mix enough 2 cycle ethanol fuel mix for 1 or 2 weeks. Do you have any references that back up your statements that the ethanol breaks down the 2 cycle oil component? I routinely mix and store 2 cycle fuel for several months (Stihl Ultra)...... Chainsaws, trimmers, back pack blowers.
