At a glance
The Blackout Prototype is noticeably lighter (325g vs 365g) and uses higher-grade carbon, but the Blackout Gold Lite is way more affordable at $40 less and still covers the same hybrid kick point and most of the same blade patterns. The main real-world difference is weight, carbon quality, and the fact that these are built for different age and flex ranges entirely.
