You should be safe with 12". But is that the size you will be happy with? Cables are not that much more to reach the ultimate comfort goal.

I still find it hard to believe people want to buy / install higher bars according to cable length, instead of comfort.
Maybe someday I will understand.........

Comfort all the way man. You have to tear into it anyway, why not do what you want instead of what you can get away with. The internal wiring is easy as hell once you get it all in front of you.

That is my line of thinking............
