When you do this I would not cut your stem at all just leave it use the spacers and enjoy your ride. My Surly LHT is set this way and I like the look and I have had to lower mine once but I never know when I might need to raise it again things can change like your seat that a lone could make you have to change it again. Just a though besides shims in the right color look good to me anyway. Good luck and good riding.
My dad always told me a Sledge a matic can fix any thing.
