If you are doing low volume, the other to consider is an MBM Autobook Booklet Maker. Its low cost and would do what you need to do.

Did you look at the MBM G2? It's actually pretty fast and should hold the stacks you are needing.

5 Gallon Low Odor REVO Matte UV Coating on sale for $249.99. Works on HP Indigo Press and Xerox iGen printers.

Have you considered an Al's Co Machine. They are economical to Tec Lighting and 100% made in the USA, so parts and service would not be an issue. You can also get automatic feeds too.
