How many midfoot/forefoot runners out there train in the lunarglide+ 4s? Do they have good cushioning in the forefoot area?

I'm a mid-foot striker and have trained in the Glides and Glides 2+. I imagine not much has changed, and these were supper squishy shoes. The most cushioning I've ever run in.
I'm a forefoot runner and have been running in the Lunarglide 4 for about two weeks. I like this version better than the Lunarglide 3. They feel a little more responsive and the new upper really hugs your foot. I tried on the new Pegasus 29 and the were softer in the forefoot than the Lunarglide 4.
Nike is pinning the Lunarglide 4 as more of a stability shoe. Most people that have midfoot or forefoot strikes do not usually overpronate a great deal and therefore do not need a stability shoe. I would recommend the Pegasus 29.

Actually I myself tend to pronate a little, but thanks for the input
I got a pair recently and they work well for me with a midfoot strike. The rubber on the heal looks tougher than the rubber on the midfoot so I'm a bit concerned about how they will wear but so far so good. Overall nice and cushioned with a very comfortable upper, so good for long days or recovery days.
I am a midfooter (I overpronate) and decided to give the LunarGlide 4s a try. There is ample forefoot cushioning, but I found the heel a little high. I gave them away with 20 miles on them so I can't comment on forefoot durability. I am now running in the new Asics GT-2000s and love them.
