Really? You can't copy and paste 8 times and then visually verify each one? Hell, you could diff them against each other to make sure you're not missing anything in those sections. I think our culture has put too much of a taboo on copy and paste. It's not the end of the world if you're careful about it. Ideally, yes, you'd have it defined in a single template which then assures you that all pages are identical.... but what happens when the next guy comes and doesn't understand how the templating system works? It may end up costing your client a lot more money because the guy has to spend time figuring out your specific brand of templating, making sure he has the tools to work with it, etc etc. As opposed to simple copy and paste in plaintext, no tools, just content.
