I would say a good fit is an investment in your cycling. Like his craziness I looked around at the options and went for Cyclefit. However if you can't afford them bike whisperer by all accounts are very good. Both will help a huge deal. Scherrit has a track background whereas Cyclefit tend to me more roadie.
There are different fit systems and the fit should be geared to the intended type of riding. There are pros and cons to all but I'd suggest any bike tweaked to your fit dimensions will make a difference.
If you are not entirely comfortable cycling or want to get a bit more out of it a fitting is worthwhile. If I was to be riding for a whole day and given the choice of a 3 grand ill fitting bike or a 1 grand one that fitted I would take the cheaper bike. As such I you are buying a bike knowing it will fit will be of huge benefit. Rather than tinkering with stems, bars, saddles and the position of components you can get it right first time.
A fit is an investment worth considering, in the long term it will save you money and give you greater cycling pleasure.
