Braking Distances

Hello all,

Question on braking distances with and without use of reverse thrust with autobrake.

Assuming a dry runway (where there is no environmental advantage for reverse thrust), with the use of no reverse thrust, idle, 2nd detent or max reverse....in theory should the distance covered on the runway be the same?

In this scenario will the autobrake system not work on a rate of descent and work harder with less reverse and not so hard with more, therefore covering the same distance?
