Thanks for the input, and from what I can tell your assessment is spot-on. My situation is a little different in that I may need to get the certification to maintain a particular client. The size and scope justifies the expense, but it appears to be a daunting task to undertake. Having just an R2 downstream may not be enough, hence the research into getting certified. The additional jobs it may generate is an added bonus. I've resisted as long as i think possible, and if there were easier alternatives I would jump at them. We'll see how it plays out, and I really appreciate the input thus far.
