Scott,
I agree that those things are fine for the novelty of draught beer at home. I think "domestic" draught at home is silly when you break down the costs compared to the current low cost of canned beer. I know it's silly. Most of the craft drinkers I know love variety too much to comit to even a 1/6bbl, but I guess it would make more sense cost-wise for craft beer.
But...
Would you really suggest a bar buy one of those things? This is in a part of the forum called "bar, pub and restaurant dispensing". No way in a million years would I suggest one to a retailer. No way would I suggest someone spend $150 upgrading one either. If it is being used in a commercial setting I would say sell it on craigslist.com and buy a commercial-quality unit.
