Does the Einstein ship with a 7" reflector like other AB lights?

No, it ships without a reflector. The new 8.5" reflector is for the Einstein

The 7" says 80deg spread and the 8.5 says 45deg spread.

Should that be a concern?

The degrees difference helps to determine the light pattern/fall off. If you are using it with umbrellas, use a wider spread. I made a mistake not buying the 7" because it's much more versatile for studio work. I'd like to buy the 10 degree grid for a background or Hair light.

There are also lots of grids that fit a standard 7" reflector...much less on 8.5 since it's a less common size...
I don't have an 8.5 :-)
