Actually, I'm not looking for height. I just want a nice replacement for the quill stem that is light and bombproof.

And by huge, I mean I've probably got a good 6" or so of adapter between the stem and the headset.
Pictures of the VO look pretty. There was one that I saw that looked nice with a couple of spacers on it so that you couldn't really tell that it was an adapter. Don't remember which that one was.
