I have the 790, the T6 and the Racer. Of the 3, I would wear the T6 for anything up to the 1/2 marathon and the Racer for the marathon. The 790 seems to be a little loose for actual racing; its OK for training but not supportive enough for hard racing. Lately, I've been doing all my training in the Racer leading up to a marathon in 10 days.

Thanx guys! I've narrowed it down to the following:
Mizuno Ronin
Brooks T6
Asics Tarther
NB 790
I'm wary of the Tarther because it has that gel gimmick. Help me rank these shoes. The ronin has a big heel, the T6 looks good as does the NB 790 but both are hard to find info on or find in actual stores.
How does the 790 or T6 compare in feel to the Racer?
Thanx!
