At Uncubed we started with the lots of options idea and have been boiling it down to the basic use cases we see. It's 2-3 days a week. 5 days, and Full time perm desk. We have a corporate plan but that's negotiated based on need a lot of the time. 

We do the exact same thing Craig does RE: printing. It's no charge, but if you print War and Peace we'll bust your knee caps :) Most of our members haven't ever printed a single thing. the rest print a few pages a month typically.

In Toronto we went with pay per charge and it just felt like nickel and diming and most people printed less than 5 pages per month. In Denver I've made printing free and just give the disclaimer that people shouldn't print a book. It's much simpler to explain and matches my goal of putting fewer barriers between the space and the members because I want Creative Density to be there workspace and not constantly feel like a business transaction. Overall, printing costs less than $1 per member per month.
