FWIW, I have three pairs of short reach Nitto 185s for sale: 90 mm reach, 140 m drop (per the published specs). 2 are groove-less and 42 cm, t'other is groovy and 44 cm. $20 each plus shipping.
FWIW again, I use 8 cm (Nitto style) stems and, compared to longer stems, I can find no real defect compared to the longer ones I've used (I've used up to 14 cm).
