Have been doing relatively high (60-80 mpw) in the Type A6 for the past few years, however I heard the new TypeAs suck. Would switching to a shoe like the LT3 be an issue if I'm already used to running in a pretty minimal shoe? I'm 5'9", 142lbs. 17:24 5000, 1:19 half, and 2:56 Marathon.

Not a problem at all, the LT3 is a great shoe.
lt 3 sucks. Expect the inside strap things that lock the shoe down on your foot to rip within a few runs
I would counsel you to look at other options beyond the Lt3, which runs more like a track spike than a flat suitable for daily training.
If you're determined to go with Nike, try out the Streak 6. But if you'd like a more durable option for daily training, I recommend the following:
Adidas Adios
Asics LyteRacer or Hyper Speed
Brooks Hyperion
Mizuno Wave Hitogami or Wave Ekiden
New Balance 1400
Best of luck finding a shoe that suits you!
Appreciate the response, but am more concerned with whether I'm taking a huge leap so to speak in terms of cushioning and potentially risking injury. At @ 60$ per shoe, I'm not so concerned with wear and tear.

NB 1500m or Hoka Clifton 2 would be better and more protective.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
