  1. You are looking at rod dryers VS a power wrapper.  A power wrapper is for wrapping thread at high speeds, can be used for turning/shaping grips, applying thread finish, and yes also drying.  There is also a "finishing machine" type of tool that spins faster and have variable speeds for more precise finish application, but not used for wrapping or grip making (this is what I use).
     
    For what you describe, anything other than the most basic rod dryer (retail or home made) would be massive overkill.   
     
    You could also use something like Permagloss or CPXtra instead of a 2-part thread finish....These dry quickly and you wouldn't need a dryer at all.

    It's supposed to sit nose-down diagonally (I guess at like 45 degrees?) when 'in-action'.
     
    After a cast, when the weights are in the tail from the cast, it will sit nose-up almost vertical...But as soon as you start moving the bait the weights will roll into the correct position and it will sit nose-down as it's supposed to.  Sometimes the weights can get stuck in the tail causing it to sit nose up all the time...A good tap or two will unfreeze them (if not, send it back to MB for a replacement). 
     
    There are no magnets in a Vision 110.  The weights roll back and forth with gravity.  The Vision 110 has 2 ball bearings for the weight transfer, not 1.  I don't know of a 110 off the top of my head with a single ball for weigh transfer...Jr, +1, and FX are all two, the ITO Shiner is 3. 
     
    #6 Katsuge Oubarbs are the direct replacement for a standard 110.  #5 G-Finesse have been said to be a very good alternative...However I prefer the factory outbarbs.

    Power - Length(Model)
     
    So on that Tour Versatile you are looking at...F is the power, so F6 is a 6 power rod...which would be in between a MH and a H.  70 = 7'0".  LV = Levante.  They'll put an S on the end for Spinning rods and a G on the end for Glass rods.
     
    So an F5-72XXG is a 7'2" MH glass Orochi XX casting rod.
    ...and an F3-610X4S is a 6'10" ML Orochi X4 spinning rod.  
     
    Generally speaking for Megabass...
    F3 = ML to M
    F4 = M
    F5 = MH
    F6 = MH to H
    F7 = H
     
    And you can interpret the rest from there they go from F0 up to F10 for power ratings.  They also do half powers on some, like an F4.5 which is in between a M and MH.
