In my opinion it's about 1000 times better. The plate like structure on the old reverso tends to be a little abrasive to ropes (especially static lines). The Reverso3 somehow manages to have more friction and yet still be smoother and more manageable and a lot softer on ropes (also seems to dissipate heat much more effectively). The quick-release loop for belaying off an anchor is another huge improvement and works really well. Also, compared to my ATC-Guide the reverso is a much smoother belay device.
