Glycerin 11 --these were the most spongy/squishy soled shoe. Very soft sole makes for a pleasant walk. They won't be liked by those who want to feel the road --more like a Lexus smooth.
Beast 12 --these share a lot in common with the Glycerin. From what I could see the difference was denser rubber is placed on the inside of the stride and some on outside of forefoot to give them more stabilty. You definitely feel more road and they are stiffer than the Glycerin (less flex) which is achieved by a rigid piece of nylon (which will eventually breakdown and provide more play in the sole).
Ravena -these have a denser sole, less padding foam in sole, to me a fairly standard running shoe. Brooks put a Gel pad in the heel to absorb heel to toe hits and its fairly effective. I would say these are more of a runners shoe but far less technical than say a Mizuno Wave. In all likely probably will appeal to a broader audience. The mesh weave is open enough that if you press your toe to the top you can see your toe. These are very breathable and not winter time shoes with a serious thermal sock.
Ghost == very light running shoe serious running shoe. For running I would put the Ghost slightly ahead of the Ravena. Definitely worth a try. If your a HEAVIER bigger runner try the Beast first.
Alas for me Brooks no longer work. 15D to small, 16 D to big. Ended up in Asics. Good luck, always look for free returns. You have to try them to see if they work with your foot.

Loads of cushoning with good stability. Similar to the ghost shoe by brooks but with a stronger mid section. But without being a heavy, rigid stability shoe forcing your foot to lean out to the outside. Green is the wining color.
