Although the 80% accuracy is a worry. 12 weeks is a long time to wait on tenderhooks and if you had a positive result from the test I think it would reduce the anxiety. I have been in the position of being told a pregnancy would probably miscarry after a scan revealed a slower than normal heartbeat and while the week that followed was one of the most stressful of my life, I am glad I had that warning. Losing a baby is always going to be heartbreaking but if the anxiety of those first 12 weeks could be reduced a little, then that would be great.
