No but I look forward to the outcome. Did they take the position standing or seated.

No, I set mine all the same as I spent ages getting mine right.
Knee pain soon occurs if I have one wrong.

I thought so, but for many people the foot us at a different angle when seated. Only a few rides will find out, did they move them much from your original position.
Your foot is placed into the jig first and they take measurements , its the size and shape of the foot they need so i guess it doesnt matter what position you are in . This is then transferred over to the shoe .
Did about 30 miles today but on the road bike , most of my riding this year has been on the TT bike . Position felt fine but they had not moved the cleats very far from where i had them .

So they do not measure for toe in or out, seems odd.

I used the "sit on a table" method for setting my cleats when I first started using them.

What became apparent in practice though was that my feet weren't identical, as my left foot felt 100% ok, but my right foot developed a hotspot. Through a lot of experimental tweaking I found that my ideal was for the cleat position on the right foot to be set half a centimetre further towards the heel than the left foot.

So from my perspective using electronic wizardry in your LBS may be ok as a starting point, but to get the perfect position you still need to listen to what your feet are telling you and not be afraid to do a bit of manual tweaking.
