I've played with all 3 and feel the 360+ version is the most maneuverable, which was the main consideration for me.
The other 2 have better plow-through and power, but the 360+ is not far off.
I feel that in terms of maneuverability, the 360+>Aux 1.0>Aux 2.0.
Personally, I like the look of the 360+ more but the other 2 are very nice looking in person too.

I think with the prestige range now, especially the latest auxetic 2.0 releases, there are nice elements from each frame with regards the weights, balance, certainly head size and layup stiffness and distribution. I am sure a lot of us have a preference for certain things regarding string pattern. There is certainly more choice now, I guess the tour now seems to be the closest thing maybe to the older prestige mp frames from the last 20years or so but it does come open pattern. I think many are now sold on the newer mould and the bigger head size which does make the racket that but easier to play with for sure. It did take away some power in my opinion but then as discussed the newer auxetic version brought a bit more power at the cost of a little softness. I guess personally I need to experiment slightly more with string tensions. I did try a 48lbs then increased to 50lbs both with hybrids with a poly mains.

Interesting on the maneuverability. I have only hit extensively with the 360+ mp but still find that a step down from the older IGMP prestige in handling. I was playing doubles last week and had to go back to old faithful to get my complete control back. I initially was using a weighted MP-L that session though for a test.

I have been playing with an MP-L (Auxetic V1) lately as well.
I really like the frame. Superb feel, touch, and control.
Power is sorely lacking, but that might be expected with a frame of these specs.
Also have a Gravity MP (Auxetic 2.0) in the bag for those days when I want a bit more oomph.
I used a LM Prestige back in the day, but never an IG Prestige.

Well, at least one thing I can say:
Paintjob 360+ is better looking than Auxetics, which are not ugly but don't stand out
The Prestige 360+ MP is a magnificent racquet. I haven't tried Auxetics yet

To not open a new thread: how would you compare 360+ Pro, Aux 1.0 Tour and Aux 2.0 Tour? Which one has the most direct feel? Which one is the most comfortable?

I felt all of them were comfortable.
Feel was probably best with the 360+ Pro because of the string I had in it. The 2 Aux versions I played had Lynx Tour and I'm not a big fan of that string.
My 360+ Pro has Tourna Quasi Gut Armor 16g at 48lbs. Feel is very pronounced after the first hour of hitting. Spin is excellent and power is there when you swing out. Since, I'm using a multi at 48lbs, the comfort is also kind of built in. But, even when I had YPTP 17g in a full bed, the comfort and feel were there, just not as noticeable as with the multi. My two pennies. . .

Which one do you guys recommend for all courter coming from Blade Pro 18? Pro (will it be too sluggish?) vs Tour (will it be too unforgiving in groundies due to 95 head size?) vs MP (awkward pattern?)?

The MP feels sluggish to me, but the MP-L is amazing!
Awesome swing, great feel and control, but zero power.
The Pro might be a better fit due to the 18 mains and 98 head size, but it is definitely a heavier swinging frame compared to the Blade Pro IMO.
I liked the Tour better b/c it swung easier through the air and I didn't feel the 95 was an issue. Plus, I liked the 16 mains better than the 18 mains of the Pro.

Thanks for your info, maybe now I need to confirm whether Prestige Pro with -6 HL can be swung easier than BP 18 with -2 HL. I like heavy static weight that is a bit whippy like RF97 though.

But I prefer Regna 100 for easier time though. I don't want to have another "difficult racket". Just demoed the MP and I think with leather grip it had very suitable specs for my playstyle. It served bombs and really stable for on the rise shots, and it was more predictable than Yonex. I am afraid the Pro needs learning curve like my Blade Pro haha

I have played with a 95 head size Prestige for mainly doubles over the past 6 months.
Bought a Prestige MP-L and love it!!!!!
All the feel, control, touch, of a Prestige, with added spin, more comfort, bigger sweet spot while keeping power levels manageable.
I tried the MP and found it to be sluggish for me.
