Yes, it's dull and no I can't make my mind up on my own.

I want a cheapish and reasonably stiff 120mm stem for my road bike to repace the noodle like Deda 01 it came with. I've narrowed it down to 2, [url= https://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/STPXCNC/planet-x-ultralight-cnc-stem ]PX CNC[/url] and[url= http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/deda-deda-h-bar-stems-ahead-oversize-road-deda-zero-100-performance-317-stem/dedahbss724 ] Deda Zero 100[/url]. The former is cheaper and I know it's stiff as I have one on another bike, the latter matches the bars so the tart in me likes it more.

So what should I do, bar stop being so indecisive.

Get the Deda. It's far nicer, plus it matches your bars!

It's also gonna be flexier, as its lighter, which is what you are not wanting?

Lighter doesn't mean more flexy.
Some good deals on Easton ea90s which are nice and stiff.
If you want cheap then the uno stems on eBay are very good quality for the money but not so stiff.
