Vital Elite vs Infraredi Pro Max 2.0
The Pro Max 2.0 is the cheaper of the two at $959, so it wins on value if the specs are close enough for your use. The Pro Max 2.0 covers more wavelengths, though the extra bands have thinner research behind them than 660nm and 850nm.

Vital Elite
The weakest evidence quality of the panels we track. A big number with no distance attached and an unnamed testing lab is a claim, not a measurement.
Pro Max 2.0
The gap between the 250 mW/cm2 headline and the 68 mW/cm2 somebody actually measured is the single most useful fact about this panel.
