If you don't have a lot of leeway on your blast chamber spacer to adjust stack length, then a spacer at the end is a good place for that adjustment. You always want the mount threaded tight and square to the tube and your front cap not seated by maybe a 1/16". That way if the stack compresses on firing you can tighten it down with the front cap. But, if you are using a tubing cutter, they need a minimum length to get purchase on, and trimming small amounts works better on a lathe, or careful sanding on a belt or disc sander. It's easier to do that on the bigger blast chamber spacer, just to get a hold of the work piece.
For short tubes the extra baffle tucked up to the front cap may be worth it. Something like an Omega 9k is configured that way. On longer tubes a little extra expansion space before the front cap is typical. Keeps weight from the end and by then gas is mostly slower and expanding on its own without help from baffle features. Without a meter you may not a hear a difference.
