I just want to make sure if I tested it and said it works, that my customer
doesn’t have a different experience.

If you've previously validated that the hardware you're using can pass gig

of packet processing on the surge suppressor, right?) then I think making sure
it links is more than sufficient.

Would seeing the gigabit color be good enough to say that we have a good

Yup. Get an rb2011. Plug ether1 to 2 with a SS between.
You'll see link, one color is gigabit. Hell you could run a script to
check the rate and print it.
For more testing you could do a MT speed test between it/to itself.

So, could I use two ports of a Mikrotik router and make it do a
bi-directional test?
I presume they have a CLI or do they have a GUI?

Most (if not all) the mikrotik routers have a built in Bandwidth test
(server
or client, selectable). Believe they do UDP or TCP, send, receive or
both.

Can you enlighten me?

Why not just a Mikrotik CCR?
