My other alternative is to take it to a bike dealer 100 miles away that only sells recumbents and is a RANS dealer. I'm beginning to think I should just do the dealer deal. So few techs have ever worked on a recumbent, but shouldn't the recumbent adjusting be very similar to recumbent adjusting?

Exactly where should I look for the L shaped finger?
MRX shifters aren't going to work with your Sram rear derailleur. MRX are designed with the cable pull to work with Shimano derailleurs.

The L shaped finger, if there is one on that derailleur, will be in the cable path quite close to the cable anchor screw.
