According to my LBS changing the stem height, etc. will have a significant effect on my control over the bike. The higher the stem the less control you have because you give up some torque. .
And, ain't it the truth there there is art in the science of bike fit! The mechanic who put me on the 52 thought through the 60cm and concluded that the stem would be so short the effective "lever" wouldn't be there and I'd have no control over the bike.

Arrgggghhh....it is going to be a long, slow (albiet fun) shopping experience!
