I'm going to be buying some speedplays and I currently use a Performance Bike's version of Look pedals. 

They do have a slight difference in height so....Do I need to worry about bike fit?

i would..

when i got my new clip-in pedals (i went from a regular to a look style) I was re-fitted. I had to have my seat moved every so slightly and had to have my right shoe shimmed to fix the alignment of my knee.

congrats on the new pedals! new stuff rocks

I just made the same move (from SPD's to Looks) and I didnt get re-fit. But then again, I didnt get a cleat fitting at my original fitting.

I dunno if a pedal change would require me to spend $150 on another fitting. I'd say ride them a few times, and if things feel squirrelly, then go get re-fit. I didnt notice any difference with my pedals in terms of fit - I did however notice that I get 10x as much power transfer with the Look pedal versus the SPD pedals I used to ride. I assuming that this is due to the large platform
