Any opinions on the New Balance 805 (http://www.newbalance.com/running/training/MR805/)? How do these shoes compare to the New Balance 901?

The closest shoe to the NB 901 is the NB 903. The 805 is more of a drill training shoe for football, soccer, field hockey players running to get quick and in shape. Not really a mileage trainer. Its got a very aggressive forefoot stance akin to a sprint spike.
anyone try the 903's yet?
I loved the 900's and 902's.
Not a lot of difference between 902 and 903. Slightly firmer, and a little lighter that I noticed. Otherwise they seem almost the same.
what other shoes do you train in?
I'm currently switching out (the 902's) with the following:
Brooks Axiom (the first, I didn't like the 2's as much).
Asics Speedstar 2
Saucony Sinister
Pearl Izumi Streak
Mizuno Elixir 2
Thanks for the input!
Just got a pair of 903s today. Slightly lighter than the earlier models and a very comfortable upper. There isn't a ton of cushioning in the forefoot. I've used 900 series shoes for regular training for the past couple of years and have run periods of 90-110 miles per week in them with no issues.
