Curious why. Would think quill stems usually have softer rounded edges and more even clamping pressure than a removable faceplate stem which tend to have more defined edges and possibility of tightening bolts more unevenly.
Because usually narrower clamping area and less distribution of clamping force?
Not only idly curious, have some Easton 25.4 Carbon Monkey bars in a quill stem right now.
