OK thank you - looks like there'd be a bit of a wait for one of your top caps, so I'll get a little 3mm to sit above the stem for now and trust in an LBS to cut the steerer to the right length to accommodate.

I won't be needing any spacers under the stem for fit purposes, so shan't concern myself with any.

And I've already got the Chris King on the bike, just converting the upper bearing cap from threaded to threadless, so will choose to blindly ignore your last paragraph :)

Aside from aesthetics, there's no harm in having more steerer projection above the stem. You can always cut more off later.

Tell that to your testicles as they're wrenched adrift from your body the next time you go for that pothole/driver/jump/bollard-induced Superman.
