From an aesthetic standpoint I agree that a quill stem looks "right" and often is a cleaner design for many of the older steel frames
From a comfort standpoint I prefer the larger diameter 31.8 handlebars I can use with threadless. I'm 6'5" and my hands just feel better on these larger diameter bars
So ... comfort. That's my reason
