Nike: Feel like running on a smooshy marshmallow. In a bad way.
Asics: Awesome.
What version are you running in? 14?
got a pair of the lunar trainers as a 2nd shoe and they do feel like running in sand.
Train in the Lunaracer. Lots of people I know as well as myself do this. It is soft but in a good way. Unless you're doing speed work, then it is softer than desirable. And it is as light as a flat, but feels about as supportive as the speedstar or some models of the ds trainer. It takes a little getting used. I love the ds trainer, too, but the lunaracer is where it's at for anything but really fast stuff, in my opinion.
The material doesn't break down the same way as normal trainers, either. The soles will get rubbed down, but the material seems to compress less than a normal shoe.
The Lunar Trainers are being discontinued due to the LunarGlide, so that probably just makes the decision for you.
I have trained in the Lunar Trainer with mixed results. I first felt the shoe was like a dream in the shop, but after about a week of training felt the shoe was entirely way too soft to run fast or apply any real pressure into the running surface. Running up hill felt like quick sand & an unusual heavy gravitation pull into the ground. I could not for the life of me run fast in this shoe. So now realizing this I have constrained the use of this shoe to just that, slow recovery type runs that the shoe seems to be designed for.
Never worn the Lunar Trainer, but isn't it a neutral shoe? The DS has medial posting.
I wear the DS and I really like it a lot.

JACOB and YARED, why won't either try to emulate Hicham's 1500m tactics?

Can we talk about how crazy hard this Olympic marathon course is?
If there are lions and leopards in Kenya, why don't athletes ever get eaten on their runs?
