Any asswipe can write a book. Just look at me.
Stems are for movies, so the remixers can deal with balances differently depending on the audio that goes over it. I said it to Bob Katz directly: Any mastering engineer that requests stems is a guy that wishes he was a mixer.
If you can't mix it yourself, hire someone who can, but whatever your do, never send your mixing work to a mastering engineer. They're generally clueless about achieving emotional impact.
