This has worked for a long time, but cautionary notes are starting to appear in the mentioned thread. It's a long read but could save you 500 bucks.

Good luck

Kind of a no lose proposition for OP. Either the FFC is 100% gone. Or it's <100% change of it being gone.

OP can do some research for the FT greater good!
