Yes, an angular contact bearing (which most all loose ball headsets are) will better handle off axis fit, as will one with larger ball diameters too.
One concern that I have, and I don't know if this was addressed before, is the added steerer threaded portion is so long that the stem's wedge will end up where the threads are too. If so this is a REAL deal killer! Andy
