My local nike store has them both on offer, Pegasus 34 at 100$ and Zoom Fly at 110$. Which is a better deal? I'm looking for a shoe to do my fast tempo runs and races @ 6:00-6:30 mile pace. I also want them to be pretty durable at least decent and to not cause me injuries. What would you choose?

Pegasus is a trainer, Zoom Fly is a performance trainer. Zoom Fly will be more suitable for your tempo runs and races. Pegasus will be more durable though. Also, Pegasus is probably more forgiving than Zoom Fly. There are runners whose strides are not "compatible" with Zoom Fly.
The Pegasus is a daily trainer. The Zoom Fly is intended for uptempo running and racing. While the Pegasus is remarkably versatile, if you're mostly looking for shoes for interval workouts and races, why is this a question?
I would go with the Zoom Flys. They are very durable as well!!! I'm have three pair in my rotation with 300 miles on each. Since switching to strictly Zoom Flys and Vapors my daily average pace for 7+ months now is 6:45.
I *wanted* to like the Zoom Flys. I'm a forefoot striker, and everything I read pointed me to liking the shoe. I didn't. I found it to have a very harsh landing at footstrike, the back of the shoe feels VERY disconnected from the forefoot (being VERY well cushioned in the back.) I'm back in my Lunarglides and Vomeros for most runs now, with the Odyssey React for more uptemo stuff.

Many sources said that unless you only run faster than 6:50 pace per mile, the Fly will hurt you. I thought my pace isn't that fast the Pegs won't handle it. Still have to decide on this, later today i will buy one of them. Any others willing to share their experiences with the Zoom Fly?
