I recently bought some New Balance MC 1006 shoes just for daily wear. Both shoes are equal in cushioning with the Wave 4 riding slightly lower. And I mean just a hair lower. I haven't worn the shoes you mentioned.

First let me say I have horrible feet. They ache from just walking barefoot to the kitchen for a midnight snack.
