I said it in my first post  I think Steph is better, but it's not dumb to think about like many of the pro-Steph people think.  It's hard to compare even though they are both guards, the game has changed so much and their roles were so different.  
Again, Steph would lose some if he played in Reggie's era I believe.  Green is a pretty good modern center and he's never had 1000 fg attempts in a season.  Rik Smiths averaged about a thousand attempts for the most part of his career (a little under).  A large of the game when Reggie played was dump the ball to the center and watch what he can do.  Also, the lane was a different place.  Centers did not have to go out and guard an opposing center at the 3 point line too often.

That said,  I don't think what Steph would lose is more than Reggie would gain today.
Not trying to knock Klay, but until he's the man on a team and has them a perennial playoff contender, than I wouldn't compare him with  Reggie.  No Steph, and he's the best on the team.  How are they?  I want to see that first.
