Blu-Ray mastering/authoring

[MrPowers]

I read a few other threads dealing with authoring blu-ray, but the threads and the information they contained were all from '06 and '07.

We produce our own media on DVDs currently, and are looking into offering Blu-Ray now. We've been using Vegas, Scenarist, some automation scripts and a few DVD duplicator towers to handle our DVD needs for some time.

However, we do not wish to spend the $30+grand for either Scenarist Blu-Ray or Blu-Print, and the thousands more on getting Blu-Ray duplicators, as we do not have the demand for the product to justify the cost. We would only need to make a handful of customized discs here and there in-house. We could outsource any bulk orders.

But, my question is this: is there now any reliable authoring programs on a consumer or prosumer level (i.e. that cost under or around a grand) that can handle making Master discs? If so, which ones? Keep in mind we are using Vegas 8 to handle editing and rendering of the files. But, we have other options available too.
