Joe:
Welcome aboard.
I know nothing of Phoenix Investiment Arms, but both Legacy and Simpson have stellar reputations, and considering the level that you are planning to invest, I'd say that you will need to deal directly with a fully reputable organization.
Of course 2 matching mags. is always preferrable to 1, however the chances of them having been altered also goes up exponentially, as does price. Like the sign over Craig Breedlove's workshop read: "Speed costs money; How fast can you afford to go?"
It seems that "Black Widow" is simply an ingenious marketing ploy to make the late war Lugers with plastic grips a collector's market in their own, and I don't know that 41's are more or less collectable than 42's.
Full rigs seem to be worth the sum value of their parts, not more, so that one is a matter of personal choice. To me I like to seem them in holsters, but that is just me.
I'll let others comment on the Kreighoff quesions, as that is way out of my pay-grade.
