Certification or qualification tester?

Yeesh.
So an IDEAL MGig1 will do RFC2544 and ITU Y.1564 testing through
either copper or SFP interfaces. If you're testing symmetric links
you can use one tester and a loopback adapter, but to test asymmetric
links you need two testers. Total for both units is $6500.
IDEAL doesn't make an equivalent with 10Gig interfaces....for that I
got a quote from EXFO for a MAX-860G. You still need two testers for
asymmetric links. Quote was $20,000 for the pair.
I'd /like/ to be able to test at 10gig, but that price difference is
pretty dramatic.
Does anybody out there have a Y.1564 tester for 10gig that didn't cost
$20k?

I'm aware that some electricians will take their fancy $10,000 Fluke
tester and do port qualification. What do people typically charge
for something like that? Is it hourly or per port?
I'm trying to justify the cost of an ethernet analyzer, and I thought
maybe one way would be to charge for using it.
