Anyone has any good experience of light and cushioned racers. Have used Adidas adios but find them too tight with not enough cushioning. I am neutral to mild pronator. Thanks in advance.

The NB 1400 is a good marathon shoe and would probably work well for you. It has a bit more toebox space than the Adizero line (true of NB compared with Adidas generally). Not much heel-toe drop, and just a bit softer than the Adios.
The Nike Lunar Racer is probably the softest flat I've ever tried on, although it's also quite narror in the toe box.
I'd second the recommendation for the 1400, and also say that the 1600 is a good shoe, although a little bit "less".
The new Lunar Racer 3 is the best version of the shoe so far. The upper is far superior to past versions and the cushioning is top notch. They're what I'll be running in at Boston.
For $110 they best have anti-gravity properties.

not much heel-toe drop?
11mm heel-toe drop is a ton.

I agree, but the Adios is 11mm as well, so the OP doesn't seem to mind.
I'm a big fan of the saucony fastwitch, specially if you need just a little bit of support. It might be too rigid for you though, I find it to be pretty responsive.

Considering you are a mile pronator, think about the Asics DS Racer. Not a true flat, but like enough and will give you some stability during a marathon.

Im running a half in the ds racer on Sunday. I would definitely recommend them. You could look at them as a cross between a lightweight trainer and a flat. Light but enough stability and cushion for the marathon.
