It would cost a lot of money (you have already seen some figures) and a
lot of time: 1/2 year for the bare-bones system is a pretty optimistic
estimate (unless they have made the process much faster recently)--and
I assume most of the paperwork has already been done.

And of course, most modifications to a certified system (can I hear 
anyone saying "service pack"?) would make the certificate void.
