Set up correctly, you should feel not much pressure on your hands when you are on the hoods or drops.

I don't think you have ridden enough to know how you want to feel to get a pro fit yet. Play around with the a few things listed above and don't be afraid to exaggerate the adjustment just so you know how it should feel.
Thanks, this was actually a really good piece of advice. I've been afraid of making adjustments, as I didn't want to throw off what the fit was "supposed" to be. I'm going to play with this in exaggerated fashion like you recommended and see if I can get a feel for various positions.
