No and yes.
2) I'm budgeting $60 for a new headset, is that sufficient? Any recommendations? I'm only moderately concerned about weight, mostly smoothness and durability.
I'm using an FSA Orbit and it feels/funtions great. I can't give a mileage report yet though.
3) Is stack height critical, or can I make up a difference by changing spacers?
No and yes.
