I am interested in using either the High Output Beauty Dish (silver) or the Retro Laser Reflector or some other type of Alien Bee reflector for wedding receptions. I would like to use it to light guests, bride, groom, etc, on the dance floor specifically. More or less as a "room light". ;)

What I am looking for are the specs for the different types of reflectors at different distances so I can understand the differences in spread, falloff, and efficiency. I would like to compare some reflectors, such as the High Output Beauty Dish, the new Retro Laser Reflector, the Long Throw Reflector, and the normal 7 inch reflector at different distances. Is there a chart on the alienbees.com site that I missed or anything?

Most likely, I will be using the lights powered down low because I will be around ISO 800-1600 or so. I would just like some creative directional lighting and want to see what the different reflectors bring to the table.
