You want 80lbs a day made or stored? To get 80 lbs stoed in a bin, you are gonna need a decent sized bin.

made, i am sure that some of the travel ball neighbors, are going to be sending the kids over to ice down their "team cokes" for the weekend. i figure 30- 40 lb bin will cover most 95% of the days

I have this Hoshizaki
5 years in and still working great. Love the top hat ice. Only knock is it's a little loud when its running and the top hat ice makes a little thud when it drops but its pretty far from my living area/bedroom so not really a big deal. I'd imagine a lot of ice makers have the same issue.
ETA: Doesn't meet your output spec though... per the website, this one is up to 54 lbs/day and 27 lb bin

My 150 lb ice maker has a 75 pound bin. The poundage rating is what the ice maker can produce a day and not necessarily what is freely available.
Also, it is a hoshizaki which is more on the commercial higher quality side of things. I got this one for free from a restaurant that went out of business. Actually got two of them and my dad has one.

I have a Hoshizaki. Holds 40lbs in the bin. It’s also 5 years old with no issues. 40 lbs works pretty well for me. Fills the ice chest with the drinks and also enough for the fish ice chest or enough to almost half way fill up a 100qt ice chest for deer hunting. If I’m looking to fill up the 100qt to the max I just load it a day or two before we leave and top off before I leave.

The kitchenaid grid cut is the standard. The hosizaki is likely the best but 4x as much. The Thor is pretty good as well but more commercial.
