Yes, the modified dispersal mechanism are good. I think the stats of standard advanced dispersal mechanisms are something on the order of:
20 charges
20 range
15 area of effect
However, keep in mind to make level C poisons and diseases, you need factory identical ones, and that you will only get 40 to 50 uses per the poison or disease. So while they are rather nice, much like the modified liquid suspensions, you won't get much for them because they are very quickly consumed (unlike weaponsmith components, for example).

I'll sell em cheap - have had Cm stuff before and it's always hard to sell - I end up destoying Rancor Bile.
I couldn't give them away!!!

Just to let you know, rancor bile is "different" than most other combat medic components. A Modified Dispersal Mechanism is strictly better than an advanced dispersal mechanism, and a spider venom is strictly better than an advanced injection amplifier.
The reason why you couldn't give away rancor biles is that many combat medics (myself included) think they are inferior to the craftable advanced dispersal mechanisms. You effectively gain 20 damage a tick and 80 uses, but lose 40 meters of range, which is terrible for a combat class with no defense skills (and come with a giant bulls eye for head in PvP combat).
Unlike with your rancor bile, you shouldn't have a problem selling these dispersal mechanism for a moderate price with a little patience. However, like I said earlier, since they are very quickly consumed and don't directly affect the tick damage of a poison, don't expect to make a fortune selling them.

Yeah, I dont expect a fortune maybe 5k an item or something? It seems a shame to waste stuff.
But it also seems odd tat these items are theme park rewards. I am a wookiee and one of my other prizes was a pair of skill enhancing ubese trousers!!! Handy 
Thanks

Actually Single Class Cs only require one DM but AE versions require identical or factory made DMs

Rancor biles just add charges. They dont add any power but rather take away from it. Biles are only good when you got venom that you want to last for a long time especially if you're poor like alot of us and had to pay 50K or more for it. Dump the rest of your experiementation into the range.
