I'm modding a few M@g 3D's. One will have a seoul P4 emitter and I undertand that the stock reflector works well. For the other 3D I'd like to use a Cree Q5 emitter. Will the stock reflector work reasonably well here or should I replace it with something else? I'm looking for good throw and reasonable spill.

you need to replace standard reflector if you use something over 10W...

Cree LED's are not very good with smooth refectors. You can see rings in the beam.
