pay the sparky as much for your testing.

Funny, considering the ring circuit has such safety advantages

No not funny it's going to be fact.

Well leaving aside any issues of why you would be paying anyone else to
test your circuits for you, one needs to consider the circumstance.

If you have just installed a new ring final circuit, then it is no more
difficult or time consuming to test than a radial. The time that a ring
circuit becomes more difficult to test is when you are attempting to
discover and reverse engineer its topology after a period alterations etc.

IME the general fault tolerance in real world situations is better with
rings than radials since the most typical faults have a lesser impact:
