Threadless will become easy to adjust or readjust once you do it a few times with the added benefit that you’ll only need an Allen hex key to do the whole combo (size of the bolts may vary stem to stem so you may still need more than one hex key in certain situations.) I’m not advocating for threadless over threaded and personally enjoy both! However, despite the relative ease of adjustment once you get familiar with it I do have one recommendation that may improve or simplify your experience while fiddling with stems and bars. Look for a “locking threadless headset spacer” and add it to the bottom of the spacer stack, directly above the upper bearing cover and beneath any other spacers and the stem. It’ll look like a spacer with a built in seatpost or stem clamp. The first time you preload the bearings with that top bolt/cap you then tighten both the stem and that locking spacer. After that if you change stems you just undo the stem and any additional spacers above that locking spacer and shuffle accordingly and leave the locking spacer alone. your headset remains adjusted as is with no need to adjust preload again and again while you swap stems bars at leisure just like with a threaded headset and quill stem.
