I would be wary if the child has learning disabilities. If not, and it is the most accessible option I wouldn't rule it out. Our PG child got good testing from someone who primarily tests disabled children. The testing is standard so it posed no problem. The bigger problem may come in trusting the interpretation of the results or trusting educational recommendations from someone not familiar with a highly gifted population.

As far as the amount of testing in the afternoon, some of what they are talking about are likely inventories that can be done very quickly. If you proceed I would suggest they do the cognitive testing first or on anther day. It may not take more than an hour to do.
