Thank you for the detailed answer. I agree, I'm no bike fitter by a long shot but even I know saddle fore/aft should be relative to the pedals and not to accomodate reach.
If this fitter didn't ask a bunch of questions regarding what you'd like to achieve, Qs about yourself and how, why you ride, and what you have been riding (and current posture); then he didn;t do the home work.
good luck
Nope. He did not, sadly
