I wonder how many Conservative and Reform Jews could tell you the differences between Conservative and Reform Judaism, besides the Conservative are a little more serious about the Mitzvot. I wonder if there is any observable differences between Conservative and Reform converts. And just to make it easier to observe differences, restrict the converts to those converts who are converting not due to their romantic partner. I suspect that the decision to convert to Judaism overwhelms the small details between the two groups. If I converted Conservative, I still wouldn't spend the time kosherizing my kitchen. I would convert Conservative because I like the full reading of the Torah at the service. As it is, the Reform synagogue is closer and that's why I choose Reform. I'm not being glib in the last sentence. I do think a synagogue in walking distance is an acceptable reason to choose one over the other.
Also, the Reform makes more sense about the Holidays. But, gosh, that is such an insignificant detail.
