I'm gonna disagree. I can feel a good difference in handling on short vs. long. Stems shorter than 90mm, IMO, make the handling twitchy in a very unpleasant way. I prefer around a 120mm, and try to size my bikes according to TT as such.

Now, tell me why road sprinters like Cavendish nearly always have 120-130mm stems?
