Having had a couple of pro fittings, I can say that checking your seat setback is not that tough if you want to do a quick check yourself. With your pedals at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and the bottoms of your feet parallel to the ground, your front knee should be directly above the centre of your pedal bearing. I've had fitters check this with a plumb bob or a vertical laser.
