Prodigio Max

I tried on all three and they fit roughly the same size for me (+1 euro size from typical). The toe box felt wider but less vertical room in the max compared to the pro.

Prodigio Max!! Killer shoe

Completely different shoes! The Prodigio Pro was designed for speed and handles technical trails really well. For me when I put the Pro on I feel like I am being propelled forward! It has a super critical eva cage a TPU core. That combo gives it more rebound and nice cushion. The other thing is the Pro is strobelless meaning your foot sits directly on the midsole keeping rebound high. The Max has a similar super critical cage but differs with a eTPU where the "e" is for expanded, where they start with little tpu beads and expand together. That core material provides more cushion and less rebound. Also has a traditional strobel lasting vs. strobelless. My understanding is the Max was designed with 100m in mind. I now have both and I really like the Max for day-to-day running and recovery and the Pro for racing, fast or technical days. They are really different shoes and work well together. Definitely a reason for being!

I ran Black Canyon 50k in them and they were sublime.

I have tried the Max on in store, but not run in them. FWIW they feel like a totally different shoe to the PP. the midsole feels ‘blocky’ and substantial underfoot; less nimble. I guess though that should translate to better long-haul stability. They seemed to have decent energy return. Certainly not dead-feeling. If I ran ultras regularly I would consider them.

I would look at their max instead of the pro, more stable and more cushion

La Sportiva Prodigio, I like the Pro, but REI sells them. so...

yes, REI sells them. They have a Pro(my preferred) and a max. I heard the max is good for hiking.
