I thought your pedal stroke looked a bit odd; not very smooth and quite a slow cadence (did the fitter ask you to spin slowly?)
Your inside leg measurement is 800mm, the saddle height in your picture on the first page is 750mm, yet Greg Lemonds 0.883 saddle height forumla gives you a saddle height of 706mm.....
Obviously that's just a guide.....but the fact you've got a fairly flat footed pedalling style, and the fact that most people drop their heels when made to push a hard gear (i.e. up a steep hill) would suggest to me you should/could try a slightly lower saddle height.
