The main problem is that they have not the money that the super GM's are going to ask for playing. Probably no ssdf tester is going to pay 100,000$ for hundreds of games of anand or another GM with more than 2700 and I doubt if you are going to find a GM with more than 2700 who is going to play 500 games against computers at 2 hours/40 moves even for 100,000$ Uri
