Please enlighten me as to the fascination we seem to be having here with these sliding-type adjustable stems.

The Look Ergostem will do everything these kinds do and much more - and it's available everywhere without being custom-made. It'll give you up to 15cm of extension that you can bend and shape however you want - you could use it to raise your bars 15cm and place them right in line with your steerer tube if that's what you wanted.
