Hi there,
A few years ago Jisc commissioned a study on the cost of digitisation, see Breaking down the costs http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/digitisation/reports/breakingcosts.aspx - although it won't tell you "to digitize X number of objects it'll cost you £Y" it has case studies that highlight what are the "cost" areas to consider for digitisation, as the cost will depend on a lot of different factors.
Are you interested in the digitisation of particular type of material? There are a number of Jisc projects working on large scale digitistaion at the moment, I might be able to point you to some relevant ones.

Also, Nick Poole's Collections Trust report is quite recent (2010) and has some great requotable facts and figures in it. I use it for 'wow' slides all the time.
