I didn't move anything but the plug--there is no spacer above the stem and I re-used the top cap that came with the bike. Maybe it's fine how it sits, but I didn't remember it looking as off-angle before.
I haven't done anything yet because I haven't had time to go to a Specialized shop that I trust and figure out my options. I have heard the same about forks that combine carbon with steel or aluminum alloys (the one on the bike is a carbon steerer glued into aluminum). What I meant was that I would be happiest with an all-metal fork and steerer combination. Otherwise maybe I will go all-carbon. I am not sure what is available from Specialized that will match the frame . . .
