I have seen too many people leave "good" professional fitters with excessively high seats, that in turn cause them issues. Someone who fits you dynamically will generally not put you on a seat height that is too high.
I agree - I want to have some sort of dynamic fit. My balance on and off the seat, rather than simply kops (knee over pedal spindle). Someone who takes into account how I move on or with the bike. The trouble is to figure out how well they do that, you need to pay the $300 and get their fitting.
