Thanks everyone, for the suggestions. I didn't realize that the recovery programs would/could write to the disk, and I should first copy the entire disk before trying anything.
Given the cost of the a recovery shop vs. a spare drive + recovery software, I think I will try recovering using software first.

It is NTFS. Both drives are NTFS.
I find this marketing claim from GetDataBack (Runtime Software) to be tempting to believe:
Get everything back-
Advanced algorithms will make sure that all directories and sub directories are put together as they were, and that long file names are reconstructed correctly.
