New stem - what rise?

Hi,
I have a 2010 Fisher HooKoo which has a flat bar and a 110mm stem (19" frame). While the 19 is definitely the right size I feel a bit stretched and would like to fit a shorter stem and riser bars.
I've settled on an Easton EA50 riser (probably 2" rise) and an 80mm EA50 stem but it comes in 6 degree and 20 degree angles and I can't decide (and don't really know the difference).
I am leaning towards the 20 as I assume it will bring the bars higher - is this correct?
Can anyone offer an opinion/advice?
Thanks
Chris

Yes, it will raise the bars more, but effectively shorten the stem because of the angle.0

50mm rise on the bars is already quite a lot so adding another 12mm or so in height with the 20 degree bar maybe a bit too much, depending how high you want your hands to end up ?
I prefer the look of flatter stem but that's personal.0
