Hey Googsta,
Cost me close to $1000 if I recall all up -- that is including paying QML to draw and send it. And I got the mitochondrial test down, plus DNA adducts. In terms of whether the tests helped in treatment: yes and no. So yes it did provide me with clear evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction, so an explanation for how I feel, and it helps hone down the treatment options. Unfortunately, I have just not been able to tolerate much of the supplement suggestions -- for instance, glutathione, coq10 etc.
We set up a Facebook for more info if that helps:

If you go yo the Docs section there is info about how to goi about getting it done from here.
I think it can help tell a story, but quite clearly it is possible to try Dr Myhill's protocol without the tests -- the information is freely available on the website. All the tests do is hone down the plan a little.
The two things that have helped me, are B12 -- which I take in the Meth form, and in dosages akin to Fred's protocol, and magnesium injections.
It may also help in dealing with Drs etc, possibly Social Security, in terms of providing a diagnosis of sorts.
I'm glad I have had them done. it's a step in the right direction, in my view, just not necessarily, THE step.
Cheers
SJB
