I took the OP to be comparing OTPs to customised bikes rather than custom frames (or Scott's custom bags).
There are probably a lucky few people who have the same measurements as the bulk manufacturers sizing models, for whom an OTPs geometry would be so similar to a custom as to be indistinguishable in practice. Tough to find out though.
For me, there are so many changes you can make to the feel of a bike through positioning, stem, bars, saddle, seatpost, crank length, etc, etc. I don't think I would honestly be able to notice the difference between small tweaks in geometry so currently I'm happy to leave it to the professionals to decide what's generally right.
Mind you - if I had freaky body parts, I might change my mind. (not that anyone with a custom frame neccessarily has freakish body parts).
