It only matters a little bit, mostly if the head tube is too long and you can't get enough drop to the bars without a ludicrously angles stem. Length is really important because having to us a very short or very long stem to get the bike to fit fucks up the handling, whereas having to use 30° stem (either way up) only fucks up the aesthetics.
