Mizuno Neo Vista 3

The current Neo Vista — a now full-length Wave plate in nitrogen-infused ENERZY NXT, 266 g of bounce.

The Neo Vista 3 is the current generation of Mizuno's bouncy super-trainer, with the Wave plate now running full length through the nitrogen-infused ENERZY NXT — the brand's pitch is powerful energy return with stability and a smooth directional bounce, and at 266 g it trimmed a few grams from the 2.

It suits you if you want one maximal shoe for most of the week and like your cushioning springy rather than muffled — the same brief as the 2, executed with more plate.

It is not cheap anymore at $200, and its heel prints as a metric decimal on Mizuno's own page (44.5 mm), which is why no stack number appears here. If the price is the sticking point, the Neo Vista 2 below it is the argument.
