Well if you envisage swapping your bars quite often than I see your point!
Adaptors work fine, most people who prefer a-head do so because it is simpler, lighter and stiffer than quill. most people who prefer quill do so because it is more elegant and vertically adjustable than an a-head.
If you dont mind missing out on these advantages of the two systems than you have nothing to fear. One other thing is that you might like to consider is how a shorter stem will affect the handling of your bike. Shorter stems give quicker twitchier handling, longer stems give slower more stable handling.
