Personally I would recommend asics.
I have 2 pairs which I use for training, they are very well cushioned, which you will need for running on the road.
I have tried other manufacturers and I have sauconys for my race shoes, but the most cushioned and comfortable out of all of them is the asics. For 70 you should be able to get a pair of the gel nimbus, albeit probably not the top model which retails for over 100.

You are going down the right line in trying to find a good specialist shop. Good staff will be able to observe you and advise on the areas of support you need and then offer a range of shoes to try. They will then be able to help you choose.
The reason why people will often stick to a specific brand is because whilst sizing may subtly change from one manufacturer to another, most of them tend to have the same features in all their shoes. ie. one brand might always be better for those with slim feet whilst another will favour those broader feet.
Hope this helps.
and credit where its due after much looking round i ended up buying from decathlon of all places the lad in there was a runner himself and very knowledgable about the different trainers and went through the pros and cons of each manufacture and type.
been for a run this morning im still crap at running but very light and very comfortable so hopefully i can get to enjoy the running again rather than the pain
cheers again all
