Nike Lunarglide 4 vs Nike Pegasus 29?

I own the LG4 and it is a wonderful shoe. I haven't worn Pegasus 29 but LG4 has very good cushioning and support. Very good for long runs as well.

Coincidence, I've recently worn the peg 29s, LG4s and LunarRacers to train. I've put in 100+ mile weeks in each.

LG4 - Fits well. And by that I mean there isn't much room around the toebox. The dynamic flywire really keeps your foot against the sole so they feel better attached. More marshmellow-y than the racers but not too marshmellow.

Peg 29s - 7in long marshmellows under me. Definitely clunkier than the LG4s, but still a very flexible shoe and pretty light.

If you are saying you want more cushioning than the lunar racers, go with the LG4s. Enough, but not too much, and are pretty nimble.

For myself, I had crazy IT band problems that started when wearing the LG4s so I quit wearing them. It's a personal thing probably, and I wish I could continue to wear them.

With some runners, IT Band Syndrome can be caused by wearing posted (stability) shoes. With these runners, the medial posting/added stability of a shoe overcorrects, and forces the foot/ankle out too much. This creates tightness in the outside of the legs (from the added bowing of the runners legs) and leads to IT Band Syndrome.

I found that the lunarglide has a very cushiony mid-midsole (colored part)

IMO the Lunarglide 4 feels noticeably more cushioned and detached from the ground and is more "clunky" than the Peg 29.

The LG are very light and comfortable, but feel so detached that I stopped running in them. I just wear them around as regular shoes, especially when my feet feel tired and they are great for that. For running, I prefer the Pegs, altho the Pegs with the LG upper would be ideal.

How about the Flyknit Lunar One? I know it is more expensive, but it really fits the bill for all the other criteria that you mentioned. Also, if you are a serious runner, you probably shouldn't expect to get a full year out of a pair of training shoes...

Flyknit One's are the most expensive POS ever produced. No cushion in the FF, lack of durability and poor fit (the upper is fine, the fit of the sole unit is messed up)

No, that would be way too expensive. I get most of my shoes in the 40-70 range, 70 for a good quality trainer. I can get amazing deals a lot, but the lowest I found for the flyknit was around 130.

Yeah, flyknit are alright, but I agree with the OP on this.. Too overpriced.
