Be prepared to have you inbox filled, and there are quite a few users 
who have joined this list long enough to get their questions answered 
and then gone again.  My guess is that for every reply you actually 
get, 20+ have come, and gone, and will not see your question at all.  
But they are users nonetheless.

I'm not a company myself, just a home user, 2 machines, using a cheap 
changer that uses DDS2 tapes.  About 70 gigs of data, 7 day cycle on 
28 tapes covers it nicely.

As to collecting a list of users, that sound like a good idea, but 
this is pretty much an all volunteer group.
