I would talk carefully to FTDNA before ordering an SNP test for P. You
need to see exactly what they would test for. It might not be enough to
really help. You have to test for a minimum of three markers to prove P:
one to prove "not KLMNO", one to prove "not Q" and one to prove "not R".

And I don't think FTDNA does M207, which tests for R.

You might wait for "other developments", commercial ones, that is.
