If I were a racer, I would certainly be fit on my race bike, but putting in thousands of miles a year commuting on a road bike, I have yet to encounter an issue where a fit would have helped me even a little bit.

After a build, I am able to dial in the bike within ten minutes. A fitting might be a good initial investment if one payed attention to the methods used and applied them to future builds/purchases.
I did the professional fit on my tt bike. I was able to fit myself on my prior tt bike, just wasn't able to get it right on the new one. I think that position on a tt bike is much more difficult to get right than a roadie.
