How does the center shaft come off in the Panther, can you leave most of it set up and unscrew the center shaft or do you have to slide it off ? Also would you recommend having the cross shafts the same width front and back?

Unscrews mate. so you can leave it all set up. I carry mine in my unhooking mat.
But you could take the alarms off if you like. Very quick to set up

Century do a blatant copy.... Looks lovely but pricey at £345 . Think the fella from Custom Angling Solutions was involved with it. I also think he makes the CAS lookalikes via some agreement /arrangement with Keith, but don't quote me on that.

"The Trident Tiger is basically a Trident Panther with twin Centre Shafts fitted.
Made to exactly the widths, specifications and build options as a Trident Panther"
Is it worth getting the Tiger so I can avoid the indicators touching the center shaft and will it be more stable?

I was looking at The Banshee.. Do you think the chain is better than a cord, I thought the metal cord would be less likely to move in the wind ?

I've recently converted to the merlin chords from traditional chains, they are brilliant and I fished blustery conditions without a single wind beep first time of using. Look good too! Me (and one of my kids) did manage to damage one (or two
) by pulling on the chord instead of the fitting when removing them from their fitment, so just something to consider if you are a rough arse 
These are fitted with the mk1 mag heads in the size that Keith recommends on his website

I have been using the merlins for 6 months and they are indeed excellent in all weather.
I was unsure whether to get merlin or banshee as they seemed functionally similar so I asked Keith and he recommended merlin.

Last question (thanks for your help) can anyone give me feedback on post 97 please ie. Is it worth getting 2 center shafts, so the indicators won't touch the middle bar and will it make the pod more stable?

I have the trident and having a centre bar does not bother me re indicators. Neither is it unstable whatsoever.
But you'd need to order what you're happy with, all in my opinion of course
