A stem with rise is a stiffer set up than running a level stem with a stack of spacers. More direct, less material, fewer interfaces that allow flex.

This is still a HUGE hold-over from the days when they used to say "buy a track bike that's one size smaller than your road bike". This advice, coupled with the seat advice you just mentioned makes...
