How should bootfitting go according to you?

I've had like the worst experience and best experiernce, me knowing more about all the boots then the shopowner was and after trying on 5 boots which all didn't fit me I left, then I went to my regular ski-shop (went to the other one by recommendation of someone I know) and that was just easy, did spent half a day in there but it was fun. First they made me a footscan, by that they ruled out alot of boots for me since I got a pretty wide foot and high (how the hell do you call that in english?) upper foot, then we went on to fitting one... two... three and bingo I got my boot, a Nordica Supercharger Ignition, some skiïng and custom sole work and I got the best boot I've ever had so far.
For me that's how it should be done, but I don't know that much about it, what do you think? Are there even better bootfitters?

Next years SPKs. Toe pad, heal pad, stiffer. can't go wrong. Or the supercharger ignitions, they have lots of options next year as well.

you should really get fit from a person who knows what they are doing. 

however, I just bought Fischer MX9s, and they are amazing.

so if they work for your foot, try them out. They put you in a more natural, sort of duckfoot stance so your knees bend straight up and down rather than the way boots that point your feet forward put your knees together. They feel sooo much better/more solid skiing.
