Yes, the mechanic is the same, but I personally like this role better than Amnesiac for a couple reasons.

1) You know you have an ally, because the person who visited you is on your side.  you have at least one ally whereas Amnesiac could pick SK and he's all alone.

2) You never have to worry about just doing nothing all match, unless you're really unlucky and no one visits you.  Amnesiacs can be killed N1, N2, or N3 before many good roles have died.  The Prodigy is immune until he gets a role, and can't be killed by WW, GF or Mafioso (because he's immune to attacks until he gets a role and can't be immune roles), so you always have a purpose (unless, again,you get really unlucky).

3) It forces you to work with what you get.  this one may be a bit of a problem for some people, but with a Prodigy, you get a role basically at the whim of the other players and you have to roll with whatever role you get, really testing your skill and breaking you out of your comfort zone.

True, Amnes and Prodigy are similar, but there are some differences. But as usual, I'm open to suggestions. Do you have any ideas?
