Tried a bike this past year with a threadless stem; it was the largest sized, and I could *not* find a production stem that brought the bars within a cm of saddle height (cm to zero difference) that wasn't stretched too far, or just incredibly ugly. Even then, I couldn't get it to work. Maybe if the steerer hadn't been pre-cut.
I am so much happier back with a Riv and Nitto stem. >From Dave Moulton's Blog: "Richard Sachs said it best when he stated, “The threadless steerer was an answer to a problem that didn’t exist.” The old style quill stem (Left.) worked fine, it was elegant and easy to adjust up and down. Now it is obsolete, not because it didn’t work, but because forks with threadless steering columns are easier to mass produce."
