It's not cheap but there's also the (made by Nitto) Compass 1 1/8 stem. https://www.compasscycle.com/shop/co...readless-stem/

It kind of seems like the VO, SOMA, Origin 8 and Ritchey stems are made by the same factory, with varying degrees of finish. I have a VO stem and it looks quite nice in person, but it's still not particularly reminiscent of a quill stem. You might need to go with cr-mo for that.
