Hi Joel, Soma has a couple options. You could look at the 225mm rise Dirt Drop stem <https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/nitto-stem-quill-mt-10-dirt-drop-225mm-slv-5647?category=983#attr=288,1136> for some more height, or the mega-tall 280mm rise Nitto Technomic (25.4 version for your Chocos/Albas <https://www.somafabshop.com/shop/nitto-stem-technomic-quill-280mm-xl-25-4mm-4096?page=2&category=983#attr=4036>) for even more.
Getting a mixte would be pretty cool, but so would keeping your Saluki!
