I have around 3000 links, taking into consideration that at least 500 of those are duplicates (one site using many domains), and it gives me 3 keywords that rank at No1, and the rest put me in the top 20. I'd say that a couple of thousand links will do for starters, and are enough to rank well on.

I think people want perfection straight away, but it takes time and the right links to do it. I also feel people get way too hung up on creating 'pages', with the thinking being "If I create 1000 page per year, the that's 1000 links back to my site or 1000 results in the serps"

But 1000 results amongst millions is nothing, and it's taken an entire year to build these pages. There's a faster way of doing it and it has nothing to do with pages, content or link building...... But everything to do with balls.
