Agree with the spacers, I've got 3 GT frames all with really short head tubes and 2 inches of spacer on threadless just looks wrong.awesome build!
your battles with getting the cockpit right chime with my own
a custom stem is something I've been considering too - i agree that in many ways Ahead setups are just way more awkward for tweaking height than the old quill style - big stacks of spacers just always look really awkward IMO
