Damn you must be expensive,  a 2G bandwidth scope with probes comes in at
around (guessing) $30k, what is a week's rental on that? But you forget the
time of the engineer to drive it, to know where and what he was looking at
- or are you more expensive than him also ?

I still suggest the time spent testing the proposition is not worth the
time of the layout guy carrying on the same way (unless the findings carry
over to many new designs)  - there needs to be some production cost saving
also.
