A longer stem may create a slightly slower feel to the steering but you would be used to it within a ride or two.

Another misconception is the idea that changing the stem length affects the weight balance. It makes very little difference. The biggest contributor to weight balance is saddle fore/aft position, follwed by torso angle. The lower the torso, the more weight on the front.
