You can use this
Stem Comparison Tool to explore various stem angle/length differences. Just leave the head tube angle at 73 degrees, and plug in the other numbers. "Height" = stem stack height, usually around 40mm for modern threadless stems, which you can find on the manufacturer's website.
The result will look like this (Red is Deda -8°; Blue is Zipp -17°, which would require +15mm of spacers to place the bars at the same height as the Deda does):
