Racing Flats or stability shoes?

Next time I go to Reno I am buying those stupid shorts with pockets for my gu and racing flats.
I also kind of want some new earphones...

I train in Stability shoes because they recommend that for big girls like me those are the best- they don't break down as quickly as cushioned shoes and provide enough support to keep your feet and body in good shape; by 'good shape' I mean no premature wear and tear.

I hate them. I much prefer cushioned shoes because the stability shoes feel unforgiving. That feeling is prevalent enough with all other aspects of endurance running I don't want to think of my shoes like that. I would much rather have something that helps my short term performance. Is it wrong to want to forget the long term 'right' thing in order to satiate instant gratification? Faster, softer, happier.
