An autobrake selectiion will apply brake pressure to achieve a specific deceleration rate. If you add thrust reversers to the mix, the autobrakes will reduce brake pressure (since part of the deceleration is achieved by rev thrust). In theory, the used runway length will always be the same (on a dry runway)
