Very good point. Probably worth combining the two.
Its nice to have a spacer between stem and headset for adjustment with different stems/bars. But an extended headtube is a far stiffer arrangment, than a spacer tower. I've gone with a 15mm extention in the example above, which is 10mm more than I'd expect for a frame of that size.
Ultimately, I'd trust the designer/builder though. I would'nt take my plan above to anyone more expensive than XACD, as its designed by a pleb ;)
