Yes, -17 angle stem gives a nice straight line & aesthetics along the toptube to the bars. I've used -17 stems on almost all of my setups because the primary driver for my fit & position is a fairly closed pelvis angle which requires a fair amount of handlebar drop, hence the -17 stems.
There are folks here versed in stem rise versus spacer equivalents so they can help you better than me for the additional spacers required to get back to an identical bar height with a -17 from what you had before with an 82 degree stem.
Nice c-40, the twin seatstay c-40's IMO are the coveted c-40s.
