I'm not opposed to that at all and will most likely end up going that route. Just wondered if having a professional do it conveyed some extra recourse with negotiations. Will keep you posted though. Thanks for the model suggestion!
I would not reccomend the tri-field. it's OK, but the cornet meter is better, and the ED88T is good all round
Cornet meters
They have come out with a ED88TPlus, which includes USB connection to a computer for the purpose of data logging. Don't know how usefull that would be to you.

I also have a
Tri-Field 100XE but it is not as accurate, and doesn't cover the same electromagnetic territory.
- Detects the three types of electromagnetic pollution: AC magnetic fields, AC electric fields, and radio/microwaves.
- AC magnetic and electric fields are 3-axis, allowing quick accurate readings regardless of meter orientation.
- Two magnetic ranges cover 0.2 – 100 milligauss.
- This is sufficiently sensitive to detect the background field almost anywhere (except far from civilization), while measuring up to very strong AC fields.
- Electric range covers 5-1000 V/m (or 0.5 – 100 kV/m with original version of the TriField Meter)
- Radio/microwave covers 10 to 1000 microwatts/square cm which includes the maximum permissible public exposure levels in all countries.
- Operates about 40 hours on replaceable standard 9V battery, has a low battery indicator.
- Analog (needle-type) display has very fast response time compared to digital.
