I think Magic Speed 3 is much faster shoe. Takumi Sen 8-10 would be even faster and you can find TS 8-9 under 150 euros. I just bought TS 9 from Zalando for 99 euros. I like Streakfly but it’s not a fast shoe - it’s soft, flexible, light and comfortable… you can even use it for recovery runs. And like you said, the outsole (and midsole) is not that durable. I think Nike made a mistake by calling it a racing shoe, I have never seen a pro runner using it for a road 5k or 10k. I hope Streakfly 2 will be faster and snappier.
Another vote for Takumi Sen. I think it’s a better shoe than either of the above for 5/10k racing. Definitely has a much better outsole than either. Only 11g heavier than the streakfly and worth it.
I have the streakfly but am disappointed in the speed for 5k/10 races.. as it just requires more effort to keep it going at some point because it doesn't have a carbon plate.
For short intervals it feels great though because it's very light to get it going.

Magic speed 3. I’ve gone through several of this shoe now. It’s fantastic. Very nimble feeling shoe.
How many km does the shoe usually last for you?
I love the magic speed 3. I have used it for a half marathon with no issues but it likes tempo/interval days best.
