Did any one here compared between a badboy and a reactor 3?

I have a reactor 3 (without a resistor, but i`m looking for something more compact (but not expensive...)

Reactor 3 is supposed to come with a resistor on the tail. You said you don't have it, then i assume that you either short the resistor or use a different tailcap. I have a badboy 400 and a shorted reactor3. My BB is greener than the reactor and dimmer also. However, the BB was properly heatsinked to the flashlight while reactor is not (as the head is plastic); therefore, it is highly not recommended to run reactor3 w/o the resistor for a long period of time. But i don't know how it is compared with BB500.

I have Reactor 3 and BB 400, I made a silly mistake by not buying Q3 BB /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif Didn't read site info carefully...

Anyways, reactor is brighter and whiter.
