Should I just go find a studio in my area and have them copy the DAT material to CDs or DVDs?

What kind of money would I be talking about?
($600?)

DAT, not ADAT, right?

The cheapo side of me thinks that you might be able to grab a used consumer DAT machine with a digital out for a lot less than that and just transfer them yourself (given you have some sort of digital in device.) if they're DAT, the studio isn't going to/shouldn't do shit other than a straight transfer to digital anyway. afterwards, sell the DAT and get some of your money back out of it.

I'm fine with a straight transfer, I can normalize and master at my leisure at home. I'm pretty sure I don't have anything with spdif anymore

i would think that a transfer at a studio would be cheaper than that?
