   I'm not sure the motivation is there considering how much it costs for a rig   
   that'll work in the ranges I'll be taking a test for.

   This might actually work for me. I don't generally have the time to sit and   
   just pour over stuff for hours like this would require but I guess it's a one   
   and done type of thing, it's not like you need to retest to renew so I might   
   give that a try and coordinate it with then they do testing so I won't have to   
   wait.
