I paid $60 to have the jacket tailored and $15 to have the pants hemmed. So an additional $75 to the price of the suit. But this makes all the difference in the world. As long as you get an OTR suit jacket that fits in the shoulders and is the proper length, you should be golden.

And take what the sales reps say with a grain of salt. A lot of them have no clue. Even when I was at Brooks Brothers, the guy was trying to get me to go up a size when it was clear I would be swimming in it. Most people wear clothes that fit way too large.

Indochino can be better than off the rack. But only if the measurements are correct. I've seen some train wreck Indochino suits before. If you've got the measurements down, then it can be a decent suit. But paying $500 for one is insane to me. I bought my first one when they were sub $300. I wouldn't pay anymore. To me, it's a $300 suit, you get what you pay for. If I'm going to shell out $500 for an Indochino suit, I may as well step up a notch to a better OTR suit and have it tailored. That was my thinking anyway.
