Xtrasun VS. Adjust-A-Wing?

I'd like to switch things up a bit and try an open-air reflector. Heat hasn't been nearly as much of an issue as I thought it might be. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the Adjust-A-Wing and/or Xtrasun reflectors. The Xtrasun is way cheaper at about $40, but the adjustable nature of the Adjust-A-Wing ($150) seems like a good feature. I also question if the Xtrasun is made of the best/most reflective aluminum.

Adjust A Wing is on the left, Xtrasun is on the right. Thoughts, experiences?

I recently brought an adjust a wing, But i cant say if its any good because iv only just started using it. The heat isnt as bad as i thought is was going to be ( just below the bulb ) with the spreader thats supplied, It seems to distribute the heat nicely. Thats all i can say at the mo.

So you have the extra spreader that clips in below the bulb?
 
hmmmm mular is the most reflective. 95% of light is reflected. you can buy it at lows

Thanks, but we're talking about reflectors here, which are made out of highly reflective aluminum. Manufacturer's claim that the Adjust-A-Wing is 95% reflective.

If you never got the spreader, Chances our it isnt the original shade, Merely a copy.
