Just bang the adapter as deep as possible (slam it into the steerer tube!) use a spacer below the stem, if necessary.. nobody on earth will notice it from afar IMHO.
no problem with running those adapters on threaded forks. And the deda ones are quite light (albeit, be careful! they convert 1" threaded to 1" threadless.. you'll need a shim for most stems..)
btw, "noname alloy" quill adapters cost around 2.5 bucks here, so, they also can be quite cheap, though heavy (190 grams measured for 1"-->1/8&1" converter, noname alloy with steel nut)
slam the thing and it wont look out of place..
