Don't know your situation, but would really recommend getting some record-cutting experience before making the investment, as I get the feeling it's a lot more complicated than it looks. Looked into this ages ago and there's acetates, direct metal masters and various other things involved (and to be honest I've mostly forgotten about), so I don't think it's just a matter of getting the kit and hoping it'll cut off cd/wav/whatever. Good record cutters get repeat business as they know how to cut good quality vinyl.

Look up some pressing plants on the internet, they may be able to give you advice (but remember it's competition, so they may not help you).

If you do have experience with this and it's the kit you need go for it though

I have had dubs cut with the Kingston Dubplate Cutter (which is mounted on a Technics SL-1210), and eventhough the mastering wasn´t good, the cutting was alright. Not sure how it´ll hold up to eg. a Neumann VM-72 though.

anyone used one of these or know what the results are like?

The guy at Dubstudio (http://www.dubstudio.co.uk) in Bristol uses one of those and the cuts are pretty damn good. Plenty of high-profile DJs use him, Pinch, myself and quite a few other local DJs use him regularly. Recommended.

If you can get the dollar together to buy one, you'll need a bunch of mastering equipment and plenty of patience before the cuts start sounding proper.
