Were you wearing the Brooks Launch GTS? Very different to just the Brooks Launch. In terms of the GTS version, the other Brooks shoes with similar support are Adrenaline GTS and Glycerin GTS, but they both fit differently. There was also the Hyperion GTS that has been discontinued, but I believe they were fairly similar fit to the Launch GTS and it's possible to find pairs still on sale in some sizes. As someone else has mentioned, New Balance 860 could also be a good option, they tend to run narrower than the Brooks Adrenalines. Asics also run narrow and have a few stability options.

Pretty much any shoe will be fine for race day. Remember carbon/pebax shoes are a really new innovation, and for years people ran very well and very fast in shoes which today lots would sneer at. I stick to non carbon shoes all the time, mainly because I don't want to achieve a PB due to tech, I want to achieve it in shoes similar to the ones I set my PBs in up to 10 years ago. Brooks Ravenna were my PB shoes (3:08), since then it's been Launch GTS. Over a distance they are comfortable, feel quick enough to me and I like them!!
I have been using Brooks BTS for couple of months, these are very comfortable to me for running anytime and anywhere.
Brooks BTS worth the $
