used in the kinvara 2 for a couple months really enjoyed it and switched to connects they gave me huge blisteres and i've switched back sooo kinvara for me!
Pure Connect fits more like a racing shoe - narrower and more curved. The Kinvara 2 is a fits a little more relaxed (though not as loose as the 1st generation). The Kinvara 2 is also filled in more under the arch and in general puts more shoe under your foot. The Connect feels faster. I would be more likely to compare the Kinvara 2 to the Pure Flow, which are similar in overall feel, cushion and midsole thickness.

The Pure Flow has a bit more cushioning than the Kinvara so it could be used for those cases where the Kinvara isn't "enough", e.g. the long run.
I tried on the Pure Connect, felt great in the store but didn't end up buying it due to concerns regarding durability of the outsole - not sure if that is justified or not.
