The alter's are garish I know. But the Thomson is hardly elegant. If I can't have a nice classic and under-stated quill stem I'll go the opposite route and get the loud stem.
I looked at this one on Hubjub:
It's nice, but I can't justify £70 on it when I can get an Alter off eBay for £15 (via my girl picking it up in the US and bringing it back).
