I am redoing the current (as in 70's) wrought iron stair railing with this spindle MB105/6 group and a maple base and hand rail.

questions:1) is there a good reason to use the "shoe" as opposed to just setting the spindle in the base?
2) does anyone know if the "finish will disappear" with cutting down a bunch (just center sections) for a pony wall railing?
Have inquiries into a company, is there a manufacturer that anyone in this auspicious group has used that they love?
OH yes, is figuring out the number of spindles just length/4 inches?
