The Ribcor 94K is way more affordable and beginner-friendly, while the Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter (350g vs 500g) and built for players who want a pro-level stick with a much wider curve selection. If you are just starting out or playing rec leagues, the price and durability of the 94K make sense, but serious players will feel the difference in the Blackout immediately.
