MAYA: Instanced Geometry

Did a few tests to test files sizes, and indeed duplicating files via "COPY" uses up more disk space, as compared to using "INSTANCE" under 'Duplicate Special'.

The tests using a cube were minimal when it came to file sizes, but you can imagine a heavier scene with objects that are half a million poly's plus. Only caveat is that if you modify one of the shapes, all of them get modified.
