Once you are sure of your stem clamp position, the normal practice is to cut your steerer tube but make sure you mark it accurately.
t is probably best to leave some spacer above your stem in case you change your mind. Most setups seem to add about 1cm.
Right now I have my stem installed so that it is angled down. I considered flipping it, but I couldn't come up with a strong enough argument to do so.
Yes, I'm planning to add a spacer above my stem.
