Too many questions all at once lol, re priming the 123, one option is to wrap a bit of fibre glass cloth around the stem, at a 'guestimate' I get double the meths on the stove (sorry about the picture quality but you get the idea)
This works on my 8's as well. Don't worry about spilling a bit of fuel, it won't blow the tank, just make sure you are on an inflammable surface. To be honest with an 8 I always spill a bit into the stove base and find this works as well are using a mini/midi pump in cold weather.
"Rik, do you know if the 123 will fit inside the army box/stand designed to use the 00 burner" Don't know Martyn, give it a go and let us know how you get on
Usual disclaimer Do any modifications at your own risk.
Martyn Re: Nova flame spread; its not uncommon to see a verticle flame (often yellow tipped) on the stove but the flame spreads very well on a flat bottomed pan (and goes blue), the heat exchanger in your picture may 'hug' the flames more?
