The fitter changed the saddle and the stem and now its much better. He also adjusted the cleats slightly and now I'm having an easier time clipping out with my broken-but-almost-healed leg. The "intro" fitting was $75, which they comped since I purchased a new bike. I'd asked about having the more detailed fitting (which costs $200, but the purchase of the bike was worth a $75 discount), but the fitter said he thought it was a waste of time to do a detailed fitting now when I've been injured, have various weaknesses, and haven't been active and he says he practically guarantees he'll change more things in 6 months as my flexibility and strength improves. At least the saddle (i probably could have lived without a new stem and just been a bit crunched) was preventing me from spending any time on the bike so it was worth the time to get that fixed. Even the intro fitting included discussion about body position, etc. (although their website indicates this is part of the more detailed fitting). I think some of these guys just like biking/helping people so much they'll give you lots of information.

Perhaps you can call and ask if they'll do just an minor fitting now, and a more detailed fitting later? Perhaps you can talk them into giving you a discount on the more detailed fitting later if you pay for an intro fitting now.
Thanks Aromig! I never thought of asking him and probably should send him a quick email. The people who know him say he's great and he's helped them tremendously so it won't hurt to ask. Hope your leg heals quickly so you can go out and start enjoying your rides again!
