Assuming a 11cm x -10° stem and 5mm spacer on the BMC, then
CAAD8 11cm x -17° stem and no spacer will drop the bar 1mm
AMX5 12cm x -17° stem and no spacer will raise the bar 1mm
In both cases, the reach to the bar will also change by 1mm. In other words, you could probably make any of them fit with a stem in the normal range.
