As there is only one personal statement, it is better to choose one preferred course and apply 5 different U's instead.  Many higher ranking U's in UK only look at the 3 optional DSE subjects which they consider to be equivalent to A2 standard.

Among the 5 UCAS choices, at least reserve 3 choices for the followings:
1. Dream choice - e.g. stretching the predicted grade by a couple of scores
2. Natural/preferred choice - best fit with predicted grade
3. Insurance choice - the (historical) conditional offer must be a couple of scores below predicted grade
For the 2 spare choices, you may consider to put more weight on other factors like location, cost, environment, composition of student population, etc.

Difficult to write a convincing personal statement as you have split the application into 2 choices.

According to the following table, suggest you may replace one of your lower ranking choices by Swansea in view of the easier entry standards and comparatively high ranking:

Entry 2015
Std    Rank
567  4 Warwick - Economics
504  8 Bath - Economics
450  18 Leeds - Marketing
459  20 Southampton - Marketing
394  26 Kent - Economics / Marketing
310  28 Swansea

You may even include another U with entry standards below 300 to play safe.
