Hmmm...
I'm wondering about the concept of merging one of these Nitto style stems with a Llewellyn style stem.
I'm wondering how far down one could rotate the faceplate, and still safely attach it with the 4 bolts. I'm thinking rotating the faceplate say 45° downward. But, that still leaves the bolts pretty well out front. Possibly slightly past the 45° point if one goes with a larger handlebar tube than stem tube.
