Default Balancing my spinning rod with a reel!

Ok, so as some of you may know, I'm looking to maybe buy a new spinning reel some time with the the next year or so.

My current reel balances the rod about 4.5" above the reel seat, it's 8.7oz reel (a pretty light weight reel). I wanna keep this a pretty light combo, but I will sacrifice weight with balance, to some extent.

So I'm wondering what weight reel do you think it'll take to balance the rod out to like 1" above the reel or right on the fore grip! I'm looking at Garcia spinning reels and they're pretty heavy, but if it'll balance the rod out, I'll defiantly not hesitate to get a heavier reel!
