Choosing a fitter

I will soon get my first-ever pro fitting for my road bike(been riding it for almost 2 years, with platforms, ready to switch to clipless now---plus have had some knee discomfort lately which I'm having success treating with stretching and various exercises, and some time off the bike--when I go back to it I want to get things dialed in correctly finally).
The LBS I bought the bike from does a "Body Geometry Fit" for $225. I like this shop, I like the vibe there. However, another LBS I frequently pop into, a bigger one (an InCycle) does a fit for $150. As far as I can tell, they both claim to do the same thing (but keep in mind, I'm a noob so I might not be asking all the right questions).
That extra $75 would go a long way towards my new pedals or shoes, so I'm just curious, how to select one? Will the more expensive fit be . . . . "better"?
