I would not go custom in a first road bike. Relative to a mountain bike, hybrid or flat bar road bike, the position is more aggressive. So, what you say feels stretched out might be simply the new position. The fitter who took your measurements for a custom bike should be able to recommend a few bikes to try (that is how I decided on mine). My vote would be for experience buying and riding a road bike with reasonable components and then splurge. You will know better what you need.
