If I get the Thomson, should I get a stem that is 10mm longer to make up for the difference in offset?

No worries. Until you have them installed and torqued down you may not think about it. I would do some measurements before swapping the post, stem and bars. I am unsure what you would need to keep the same position but you may talk to a fitter as they can help out with that. Since there are three variables it may not be as easy as 10mm in stem.

If you are looking to add comfort, again, go with the eeSilk seatpost.
