For LCG pledged resources you are supposed to buy the benchmark, it
isn't considered accurate enough to extrapolate and the benchmark isn't
all that expensive compared with the total cost of a farm. For non-LCG
EGI resources I think the situation is still under discussion, at least
I'm not aware of any definite statement.
