I am confused - are you primarily concerned with the aesthetic issues with having the stem raised up? And are you sure there is no min-insertion line on the quill?

Thanks for the response and sorry for the lack of clarity. Yes, there is definitely no minimum-insertion line on this adapter. I bought it years ago at an LBS, so perhaps the new ones have a min insertion line?
I guess you can discard the part about the spacers--yes, those are for aesthetics. I'm a silly, vain creature, but I freely admit this.
If yours has a min-insertion line on it, how many MM is it from the bottom and how many from the top? Perhaps I can calculate a safe equivalent.
