Can anybody recommend a good duplicate file finder with the ability to replace the copy with a shortcut? Otherwise I will have to have a go at writing something.

I don't know about replacing a duplicate with a shortcut. But for finding duplicate files, this works well and fast. Best of all: it's free:

FindDupe is a tool for quick detecting of duplicate files on a hard drive under Windows. Duplicate files can be detected, hardlinked, or deleted.

Sometimes its intentional to have certain media in multiple places. By running finddupe, and hard linking the identical files, you can keep the files in multiple places, while only having one physical copy on the hard drive.
