I don't think these are a bad idea, filter is very practical as (obviously) you can put a brewed jug on top while making another and decent beans + grinder will make a big difference to quality. A filter setup will be more reliable too.
However, a lot of machines can be very hit and miss: you'll get a good jug then a bad jug with seemingly the same inputs. From what I've read this is to do with how they pour the water over the coffee, which is literally a bit hit and miss/random.
I know that you can get filter machines which have a 'showerhead' type arrangement so the coffee is more evenly wet, which means better consistency. I don't know if the Burco one you linked to has this but if it does it doesn't mention it...

Machine recommendations for an office.
Information you need:
I'm thinking of abandoning the very few to their Aeropress, but installing a decent cafe grinder and using hotel style filter machines so that we can still get Square Mile beans but that we only provide pour over filter coffee... which no-one can fuck up.
Basically a pair of these: http://www.burco-lec.co.uk/burco-cffmfst-manual-fill-pour-over-coffee-maker-with-2-jugs-and-filters-444448558.php
