I'll answer this one.  The rest I'll leave for someone who knows.  The 
built-in reflector reflects the generated light back into the bulb itself.  
Most of that light is converted to heat rather than making it back out the 
other side.  The one without the built-in reflector will actually give more 
light with a white reflector in the fixture than the more expensive bulb with 
the reflector built into the bulb.
