For normal road riding, stem length has very little effect on handling*. Handlebar width does. I made the mistake of putting narrow bars on a high trail bike and the flop is just awesome getting while standing. And when I say awesome, I mean that I'm surprised it's never caused me to crash. But I do get used to it after a while if I've been riding my road bikes a lot.
