I have had 3 different 6600 style reels from Abu. A Blue C4 , a Morum and a green one I forget the model number. None of them have any of the problems you mentioned so I guess they must have changed things since that original model.
The Morum is machined from a solid block , at least that's what they advertise. i have seberal Calcuttas and assumed they also were. I'm disappointed to find out they are not but they perform well for me so I guess it doesn't matter much.
Yeah , disengaging the levelwind may help casting but it does svrew the reel up badly as anyone who ever had a levelwind disengage because the pall got worn. I never had one that did it on purpose but its a bad idea.
