Last year, I decided to buy a high quality steel bike. Waterford Bikes makes such a bike; all of their bikes are custom.
It's probably true that if you want a good carbon frame, most people are fine with a production bike. 95% of the bikes on a showroom floor are carbon; the choices are unlimited. But I don’t think you can buy a high end steel bike off-the-rack.
Sizing is is not the only reason to go custom.
