+1 on urbanknight's post. Alloy stems are pretty well the norm even on high-end bikes with carbon bars. I'm not sure how much the Ritchey torque wrench costs, but the plain beam style park tool wrench is what I use for most of the lower torque bike stuff. Sometimes it isn't very convenient to not have the ratchet, but it isn't a big deal.
