I think I might try a -17 stem if I can find one for cheap just to see what it's like.
Haven't actually finished the bike yet. Waiting on my seatpost to come in before I take pics. I have a 2015 non Hi-Mod frame, and I love this thing. I have a Slam That Stem cover on it because I had it left over from when I had a CAAD. I was actually surprised to see the fairly low stack cover underneath the volcano spacer, but the STS cover still looks better, and is a little lower.

Also, Re: cheap stem, look into the Kalloy stems. I'm using a -7 one right now, and once you acetone the terrible logos off, its actually really really nice. I tuned it with Ti bolts and the thing weighs like 113g for a 130mm stem, and I only paid like $35 total.
