One of my jobs used to be running a duplication machine. They're fine if you need 7-20 copies of a disc quickly. Anything more than that, and you're pushing it. Most consumer (read cheap) duplicators use consumer-quality drives, which tend to last 1,000-10,000 copies, and then start to die: they simply run into dust. My advice if you're going to get a duplicator, get a dedicated, built-for-the-task sealed unit type box from sony or someone like them. The cheap towers aren't worth it if you're doing large quantities regularly...
