Q: 5. Do you stock the "Classic" version? Is there an advantage to the Microball mount?

A: I'm sorry but we do not carry the classic version, just the monoballfix. If you mean monoballfix, no there are just different mount systems and the monoball fix is only proprietary to Arca Swiss.

Q: 6. Can the clamp be rotated?

A: No, it does not rotate. Also the bottom of the rail is for the smaller clamp and is not a standard Arca-Swiss size.If you want a one that works like that but is standard and you can rotate it. There is one by Acratech. And there is another option by Sirui, a base that can attach to a rail that allows you to rotate.

Q: 8. Will this model work with RRS camera plates? I have heard this won't clamp tight enough.

Q: 9. What is the width of this rail? I have a Monoball P0 which can take a 32mm rail only. Is there a cheaper alternative that is 32mm wide that you can recommend?

A: The nodal set is for the PO head and is the width of that quick release system.So it should work fine on the head you have. For that head, Monoball P0 this is the only one we are aware of that will work.
