My old preset design has "MC" on the barrel.

I can't address your priority acquisition list, but I can say that the
80mm/bellows/slide copier attachment, with an OM-2 and a T-20 flash is a
great slide copy set-up. If you need exacting color matching, eliminate the
flash, use Kodak's slide dupe film and a color enlarger head as a light
source. Contrast control is always problematic, but can be addressed in a
variety of ways.
