I guess if you only ride on the hoods, this is an issue.

I couldn't shorten my stem by 1 or 2 cm's, as this would mess up all the
other positions on the handlebar. Oh well, guess i'll have to stay with
my campy levers. :)

the distance from the nose of the saddle to the center of the handlebar does not change for me based on component choice.
