Looking for a racing shoe for the Chicago Marathon. Can anyone offer insight into either? I currently train in the Pegasus.

Depends. Time goal? I have a pair of the Streaks and absolutely love them, the Lunaracers might be the safer choice though.
if your choosing based on time, what is the cutoff?

I just ran a half in the streak 6 and it's unbelievable. I would highly recommend it! The lunar 4 seems to have the same upper and the bottom seems to be the same as all the other lunar racers which is softer then the streaks. The streak 6 is leaps and bounds better then the 5...I love the lunar racer too though!
Lunaracer is softer and will be less hard on your feet over the course of the race. The Streak 6 is harder and more responsive with a better ground feel. In my opinion the Streak 6 is a faster shoe. The materials used for the Streak 6 are more similar to the Pegasus than the Lunarlon used in the Lunaracers.
I just got the Streak 6 and like them so far, but have not raced in them yet. They feel lighter, more flexible and less stable than the Lunaracer. I've done a couple of marathons in the Lunaracer. They're okay, but over time I developed some pain in the ball of my right foot with them. But obviously people have different feet and I know a lot of friends who still love them.
If I were you, I'd get both and wear them in a few workouts and races (especially a half), then decide which works best for you.
