Assuming you are talking about the D Mini VX Ultra with the SST-50, there is no comparison. The throw of my Maelstrom is in another class it is so much better.
Edit: If you are looking for a BIG thrower, there are better then the Malestrom G5 though.

There's a non-SST-50 D-Mini VX which is a great thrower but I cannot compare with the other.

The G5 was designed from the drawing board as a thrower that can fit in your pocket or utility belt without the discomfort of a huge turbo head.
We went through nearly a dozen reflector prototypes to obtain the results we aimed for from the beginning. It was quite a challenge to get a nice beam from 1) an XP-G and 2) a smooth reflector. The XP-G was the only choice for the kind of output we wanted and the smooth reflector was a must for getting most light into the hot spot versus the flood.
