As a quick aside, and sorry if this is a daft question... but:
Using autobrakes...if they provide a set rate of deceleration, rather than maximum retardation, does thrust reverse have any effect on stopping distance at all? Logically I'm guessing all thrust reverse does when autobrakes are on is take some of the energy absorption from the braking system; i.e the transfer of energy is shared between the reversers and the brakes...is the stop distance basically the same?
Cheers
