bikes in the 450 class have no reverse, the 400's do have a reverse. they cut reverse in the 450's to save weight when raceing. some companies even added a 6th gear on there 450 models instead of the usual 5. the honda 450R has 5gears though, says the spec sheet.

Well im more of a trail rider than a racer, so Im the type of guy that wants reverse, so I would need to go down to the 400. Is the 400ex still a good quad?

Yes the 400 is one of the best trail machines money can buy.The motor is a little old but produces good power and if taken care of will run forever.
