Title says it all... what's the difference between these two stems? Technomics are known for their long quills, but they're also available in a short quill version, a "Deluxe" version with anodized finish, etc... Both the Technomic and Dynamic have a 72 degree bend and seem to do the same "job". The clamps are different (Dynamic clamp bolt threads into stem), but is that the only difference? Is one forged to a higher standard? I need a new stem and I love Nittos but I don't need the height of a Technomic. The Dynamics also seem to sell for less.

When I looked into this about year ago, I found the following:

Dynamic: Bare aluminum, maximum height 78 mm from fork locknut to top of stem allen bolt (measured along vertical neck of stem), ~427 grams
Technomic: Bare aluminum, maximum height 160 mm above fork locknut, ~300 grams
Deluxe: Anodized and nicer finishing overall, maximum height 120 mm above fork locknut

I also didn't need the height of the Technomic, and eventually found a used Deluxe that was cheaper than any of the models new.

Whoops. Weights switched. Taller Technomic obviously weighs more than shorter Dynamic.
