Never heard of magnesium being used in a stem.
Plus, they're on sale at a fairly deep discount over MSRP.
Is there something wrong here?
My agenda is that I need a 90 mm/10-degree and this seems like one of
the few games in town.

Apparently, its lighter and stronger than aluminum but has a problem with
corrosion...and best of all, you can light your bike on fire!
Read about it here, about half-way down the page:

My Mag 21s never exploded. They were noodlier than the Olive Garden,
but they never exploded. Even when a stick caught in my front wheel
blasted out one of the brake bosses. O don't recall any any signs of
corrosion either. And some road skirt named Petacchi made the Giro
boring this year with a magnesium frame:

With all that said, I, er, don't know anything about the Easton stem.

I've been running one on my XC bike for a couple years (?). Used it for XC
and DH. It's a very nice stem and $50 is a ridiculous $$... If that's the
right size for you, snap it up!
Just stay away from those bronzed colored ones; they were recalled.

According to MTBRoids the finish can go on them pretty quick. I would
just pay $10 more and get a Thomson from aebike.com.
Get with the program its used in
frames,seatpost,stems,and just about every- where.

That RS Mag 21 should have blew up along with the Jett .

I hope you were kidding. There's so little magnesium in these stems it
could never come close to catching on fire.

Don't know about the Easton stems, but my Ringlé Mag Octanes burn.
That's how I tested that they actually sent me the mag version instead
of aluminum. A tiny shaving drilled from one of the traction pin holes
blazed immediately.
