Paul Davidson, former member of The Forum, has a great Skeptical Website here:
Is That in the Bible?
and, unlike me, he does a lot of research and goes into a lot of detail. Kind of like he graduated from the Forum here.
Regarding GLuke not just being later than GMark, but using it as a source, of course Hawkins made the argument hundreds of years ago:
Horae Synopticae.Demonstration of the NonApostolic Preaching
For those who are not familiar with Avery, he wants the supposed GLuke/Acts author to be early because he wants Acts to be early so he can claim a chain of supposed witness from Jesus to subsequent Christianity. Since Hawkins' time there is also the additional category of Style that favors GMark, and a subcategory of Style is completeness, which Editorial fatigue is part of. Davidson has a great post demonstrating evidence in favor of GMark regarding a breakdown of the Parable of the Sower (comparing GMark to GLuke):

You find this superior consistency of GMark over the other Synoptics over and over again ad nazorean(especially with GMark's chiasms).There are at least three problems resulting from fatigue (Goodacre 2001, p. 74f):
Luke omits the part of the parable where the seed sprang up quickly because it lacked depth of soil. However, he still provides an interpretation for that part of the parable!
Where Mark’s seed on the rock withered “because it had no root”, Luke changes the reason to be that “it withered for lack of moisture”. However, his interpretation addresses Mark’s original version — that it withered because it had no root. His interpretation does not address the lack of moisture.
Luke removes Mark’s reference to the sun the scorched the seed on the rocky ground, yet he provides an interpretation for it: the “testing” that causes people to fall away.
