This is what I found works for me. I have had 2 pro fits in the last six years and they were within +/- 3-5mm of where I put the stuff. I no longer bother with 'pro fittings.'

I'm 5'10, 32" and ride a 54 CAAD because when I test rode a 56 my thighs rubbed against the top tube. The top of my saddle is 7" above the seat-post bolt, and I'm not sure I'd want it any closer than that.
