I find that having updated features and problem fixes sent out more 
often is preferable, especially since you automated the updating process.

I am in an environment that doesn't/wouldn't coordinate updates to 
MarcEdit, however.

Could you set up the software to allow users to switch between "update 
whenever available" to "update monthly" (maybe even on a selected date, 
say every 15th?). This could have the added benefit of allowing people 
to run the update to get a newly-released fix for something that affects 
their work flow (by changing the setting), but otherwise leave updates 
to the monthly schedule (by changing it back).

I don't know how much programming time that would take vs. the benefits 
to the users, so take it with a grain of salt.
