Will this kit suffice?

Hi guys,

I want to do a UOA to determine the health of the engine, whether there are signs that it has limited use left and to see if my OCI is right.

I've found a tester that checks these values
Analysis
Aluminium (Al)
Copper (Cu)
Chromium (Cr)
Iron (Fe)
Lead (Pb)
Tin (Sn)
Contaminants / Additives (ppm)
Silicon (Si)
Sodium (Na)
Physical Tests
Water (% by crackle)
Viscosity (cSt,40°C)
PQ Index
Fuel


Will this be sufficient for my needs or is it missing something?
 
Thought the crackle test was strictly qualitative. How do they get a percentage out of it?
 
I live in Australia so just looking at my options.

This is from http://www.e-monitor.com.au/ which is pretty cheap at about $35 AUD.

This is another place that does UOA (http://www.techenomics.net):

Would that be a better option as it has TBN values?
