Haven't tried the Blade, but I was disappointed in how the Prestige felt when I demoed. It had a boardy feel on contact, IMO.

Blade is a club.
PPro is a scalpel by contrast.
Which you use depends on what you like.
I know skinny little girls (5' tall and 97 lbs.) who hit 4.0 level men's groundies with the Blade.
