Pure Swing should be earlier, and resultingly a bit more overall.

Opposite ball motions.  Pure Swing is mid lane with continuous backend while the Reign is length.  Too many corner pins with the Reign

I think the Pure Swing is more like the Virtual Energy than the Reign.  I haven't thrown a Reign but from what I've seen of other people throwing them, the Reign is more comparable to the Bedlam and the Pure Swing is comparable to the VE.  

To answer your question, the Pure Swing would be a good fit for something a little more than the Reign.  It will pick up earlier to deal with that 3rd house so that you can leave the Reign shiny for the other 2.  You may also want to look at a Virtual Energy to fill that spot.
