Unless the unit's true utility as a game piece is tied strongly to
its ability to act as a status symbol when comparing yourself to
others, in which case mass production would indeed lessen its
utility.  Someone made this point over at TerraNova, but I can't
seem to find the thread and don't remember who posted it.
