Just take your time and read and read and read....
I have heard of a few guys who just wanted to get a licensed AC guy
in at the last minute, to test and release the R410a.
IIRC, the price was in the 100-300 buck range.

One of the reasons that I wanted to DIY with my own tools, was in case
there were leaks, and it ended up taking longer than expected to fix up.

My guess was, it would cost a little more to own the tools, on average.
But, you could sell them later, if you needed to.

I also figured that I might want to install more mini-splits at some later date.
Like a small 9k BTUh in my Master bedroom, or maybe in my daughter's house, or my Mom's place down in Texas..?.
