R2 Certification - Page 2

I did a quick search and was surprised at the small amount of information on the forum regarding R2. Maybe I just typed the wrong search words, but I didnt see much, so will ask my question anyway and apologize for redundancy later:

Has anyone gone through, or currently involved in, the R2 certification process and willing to share insight on their experiences? While I am interested in doing it, I think it would be a good discussion on what to expect, what steps can be taken to make it go easier, what to avoid, cost involved, amount of time it took, etc. Maybe include a brief synopsis of your particular business for reference? I know I can find some info out with a simple Google search, but I'm more interested in what Forum members have to say based on personal experience. Thanks!
