My gut tells me that the 2-point loss on the span at 1550nm will be somewhere around 30-35 dB.

What's your measured chromatic dispersion?  You might need 
to budget in the hit from compensation too.  Some of the
super long range optics have wide tolerance of dispersion,
but probably not without a penalty.  

If you don't have a measurement, you can estimate w/ the values 
for that fiber type.
