Good to see that the OP has at least partially resolved their issues on fit. Great that @Stef 1 can now ride more miles in more comfort. Nobody arguing there. 
I still stand by my opinion that bike fits are a good idea, albeit with some having more to gain than others.
I fail to see how someone who has set up the same sort of bike, in exactly the same way for an extended length of time, is actually qualified to resolve someone’s specific knee or hand pain by making specific changes to their bike without ever seeing them.
Yes, forums are great for helping to lead people in a certain direction, but that to me doesn’t make a bike fit absolutely pointless for every single person.
I am not trying to convince the die hards out there, just balance the argument for anyone reading these threads.
