Patrick, Did you really type this: "And given my antipathy to fiddling"? Seriously? I read your posts precisely because they include all kinds of fiddling (off the top of my head: tire pressure, tire sealant [various kinds]; custom cassettes, varying the Q-factor, etc.)
But to your main point. Even if your bike had a threaded steerer, you probably would have needed more than one stem, at least in terms of length, to vary the reach as much as you had.
