I don't see what's so bad about the one the OP linked. You're simply not going to look 'cool' with a hi-rise stem anyway
This is definitely a place where having a threaded headset is an avantage, as you can just swap out the stem for a taller one, and Nitto makes some actual nice looking quilled hi-rise stems like the Dirt Drop.
So if appearance is very important, you _could_ get your steerer cut and threaded, get a threaded headset, and a Nitto dirt drop stem... but all that would look rather funny on an aluminum mass-market bike anyway
