A pay-for-fit up front? That doesn't make sense no matter how you ride. The problem with evaluating fit value is that it is a moving target. It will change as a cyclist's needs change. My fit didn't matter as much on 40 mile flat group rides as much as it does on solo hilly centuries. For that reason I have simply fit myself over time - based on aches, pains, subtle component changes and information gained from websites and even BF. High dollar fit just seems like high dollar attention, it's a spa mentality. While certainly cool if you can afford it. It is no way necessary for a comfortable or competitive ride.
