thanks all!
I figured a carbon stem would just mainly be for cafe style points..
I'm strongly considering the Specialized Roval Terra bars if I want some flare, or the S-Works shallow bend carbon bars if no flare.. I can get a great deal on either of those (almost down to alum version prices)..
Thoughts (FWIW, I tend to like a more compact bar as I have smaller hands and do not like a large drop)-
