Advice on running shoes - different pair for long distances?

Hi just looking for some advice.  I have now started taking running seriously, and i currently use the minimalist Brooks Mach 14's.  I have started upping my milage with a plan of running a 50 miler some point next year. 

I have read the Brooks Mach 14's are good for mid distances, and was wondering if i should get a different pair of running shoes for my longer distances?  Does anyone else do this?  I was thinking doing all my shorter runs (10 mile or less) in my Brooks, but getting a different pair for the longer runs.  Anyone have any thoughts/experiences on this?  I really like the Brooks, very lightweight and good to run in, i just don't want to risk injury in them if they are not designed for 20+ miles at a time.

Thanks for any advice, Matty.
