I have a pair of forks with a short steerer and need either a longer steerer or a shorter headset, whichever I can get soonest
What do you have at the moment, I may have an unused top part of a ritchey headset these are one of the lowest.
Oddly Mavics (316 you'll need) can be 'low' as you only need to thread into the threaded part, so the clamping section (screw) can do it's job, the rest does not need to be there.
But overall height id higher so you'll need a good length of quill (syncros and my ibeam worked fine for me).

I thought the Onza one was supposed to be pretty low-profile?

I don't know about 1 1/8" but for 1" the lowest I found was the CK Gripnut.

for threaded 1" headsets the shimano dura-ace HP7600 has the lowest stack height of 30mm.
for threaded 1 1/8" headsets the ritchey logic has the lowest stack height of 33mm.
onza headsets have a large stack height because they use roller bearings.
