As you say, fairly easy puzzle today,even though some of the clue components were unfamiliar e.g. mod and bala.Guessed both answers and had to look up the components to verify – Brownie points to Gozo for that!
Top clue,by a long way,15 across.

I was also far from being whelmed by this puzzle. Too many minor irritants along the way for my liking. In particular, 16A (don’t the metaphorical “gloves come off” once a spat starts to escalate – rather than when it starts?) and 22D (a ludicrously ugly surface, and technically flawed too; giving no indication that the subtraction needs to be disjointed).

I’ll confess to not being familiar with MANIPLE, but managed to guess correctly.
