I love the whole series. N1 was my go to shoe during my last HM training cycle. I'm doing a lot of running in the Nike Zoom Fly right now, but am looking to add another shoe into my rotation and will probably go with the N1 again. I have some N0s that are good for workouts, but not enough there to train in for me.
When the Boost Boston comes out, give it a shot. I've tried on a sample and it feels great. Love the upper, and Adidas has nailed the Boost technology IMO.
I would love to try the boost but won't even put the on. Too much $ for me to justify for a running shoe. Maybe they will come down in price.

Unlikely. They're selling well. Also, the whole market it going up in price... a combination of inflation, increased production costs, and the simple fact that the people not willing to buy the shoes are outweighed by the increased profits from people who ARE willing to pay. The price of running shoes hasn't reached equilibrium for the manufacturers, so the prices of shoes will continue to go up until they do so. That said, I think we may be reaching that point. I see a lot of Kayano buyers going down to the 2000 or 3000, Vomero buyers going to the Pegasus, etc.

How does the Triumph compare to the Kinvara? I liked the 890v3s, but hated the Kinvara's. The Kinvara gave me calf problems. I like how Triumph is at 8mm drop and don't like how NB is adding drop back to their shoe lines (NB1080 and NB890 latest versions have more drop according to running warehous).
The triumph has more shoe to it. The drop is higher at 8mm versus the 4mm for the Kinvara. they are more like the NB 890 v. 3. Kinvara is also softer while the Triumph is more responsive (but also softer than the 890v.3)
