I'd think the Prodigio Max is more comparable to the speedgoat than the other prodigios. It's also far better than the speedgoat, but that's my opinion, so it's all subjective.
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.
Re: La Sportiva, they did—the Prodigio Max. Gave up on Olympuses after 2 pairs of the 6s (4 was the best). So far, I’m very pleased: the toe is spacious and the rest of the shoe feels very secure yet comfortable. Not zero drop though.
