Obviously if the cost of the radiator is an issue then an expensive piece of equipment to do a job once, makes little sense and I referenced a previous experience when I had to go back to the shop to get my Riviera bled again.
It takes little effort to break the bleeder loose a few times to confirm the system has no air pocket, I call that good insurance and once done then you can just monitor the recovery bottle for any change the would indicate loss of coolant.

Well you were right, just as I suspected. There is major, major cold spots on the radiator (up to a 40° difference). I went to get the radiator but they didn't have it, and won't have it until Monday. Which is ok.
