I will be racing a marathon in a few months at hopefully sub 2:27 pace and have been doing my workouts in the LunarRacer 2. I have a fairly neutral stride with slight overpronation. I train in brooks adrenaline. I like the LunarRacer 2 but as this will be my first marathon, I have no idea if it will be a good shoe for the marathon or not? Any suggestions if not this shoe?
adidas mana
asics gel ds racer 8
mizuno wave musha 3
neutral:
brooks launch?
also, saucony grid fasttwitch 5
Have you done any of your longer marathon pace tempos and/or long runs in them? A couple of longer test runs will yield quite a bit of useful feedback for you and ease your footwear choice come race day.
It's a suitable marathon shoe and really comes down to personal preference. Good luck on race day.
LunarRacer 2 is one sweet running shoe. Get a review of it:

Another one they recommend is the Nike Structure Triax 14
^first off that website sucks and tells people to shop at zappos over helping out their local runnnig store. also, a lot of their information on there isn't exactly the best. please people, go to your local running store and get fitted properly and actually try on different shoes to see what you like over just taking that websites recommendations then ordering from zappos.
next thing, why would someone wanting to run a 2:27 for the maraton want to run in something that weighs just as much as the adrenaline (the shoe they train in).
OP, i think the lunaracer would be a perfect shoe for you. i train in the asics 2100 series and i ran a marathon in the original lunaracer. i also have the lunaracer 2 and i think they actually feel more stable than the original version.
oh by the way. the lunarglide and lunaracer are different shoes.
