Yes I would pay for that service IF it was priced affordably AND IF it didn't require a yearly subscription (since I probably would use it only one month out of the year if at all)
Just made the same trip ourselves back in August and September for almost the same amount of time. Shoot me a PM and I'll point you to some threads and reviews.
