Having only ever ridden OTP frames I've never bothered to worry about bike fit.....
I just get the saddle position right, slam the stem and then do a day ride with a set of hex keys aim to get home comfortable....
As long as I can ride all day on the drops I'm pretty happy and don't pay it any further thought.
These are the 2 bikes that I own that I do big milages on, they're both pretty comfy and despite significant differences in BB height, have a similar ride position. The drop on the duratec is marginally more so after about 100miles I find myself riding on the hoods to save my shoulders.
(I don't think I've ever experienced discomfort on the De Rosa)
