Corner balancing isn't rocket science. It's static weight, quit making it like it's some kind of brain surgery. Five to eight hours? I know someone who can dial corner balance in in under 2 hours granted that the suspension has a way to adjust ride height without adjusting spring preload. It is true that it won't be $50, but then again Chandler was trying to be funny.
A multitude of adjustable suspension parts deal with suspension geometry, not corner weights. Once the corner weight balance has been achieved, alignment comes in and alignment will take longer to adjust when camber, caster, and toe are all adjustable. As long as there is no vanity and unreasonable goal in alignment specifications, it's only a matter of adjusting cams and arms. Adjusting camber and toe gains (curves) is a different story, but let's not get into that.
