Try to play with Selenium, the test you want to do is not very complicated, I would estimate it as one-two weeks to create working prototype, but if you don't experience with automation and programming it can take much longer. QTP temporary license can expired faster.
The decision to buy software take a long time in companies, even if create working test you wouldn't be able to use for long time. Buying QTP only for report testing may be not a good investment. Recording in Selenium is simple as in QTP try it. If you want to convenience the management any working automation will be good.
