Getting a fit is fine, but write down your numbers (saddle height, saddle setback, saddle angle, reach from saddle to hoods, handlebar dropper rise from saddle height) before you go. If you know what they changed and you know how it previously felt, you'll learn something.

That bar angle is worth a question. I like to have my wrists in a neutral position, so that there is no stress in them as I grip the gar tops in normal riding position, just behind the hoods for me, so I can reach the shifters and brake lever. It amounts to there being a straight line down the back of my forearm to the knuckle of the middle finger. This is pretty much the neutral position of the wrist, for me.
