So why spend $1500 now only to want to spend $3000 in a few years, why not spend $2200 now and be happy for quite a few years to come.

That said the professional fit would have been cool but thinking back I think I got a fine fit from the guy who I bought it from (who races CX). I don't know how good of a pro fit I would have gotten with the Felt because they specialized in Tri Bikes (most likely why they couldn't sell a CX bike)
Well, yes: getting a cross bike fit from a cross rider is much better than from a triathlete. Enjoy the bike - although you don't have to spend $3000 for a bike just to get a fun, safe bike for a workout: that's more serious racing level investment. But if you can afford it and like the bike, great.
