These should be Unique GUIDs.
Every material should haver its own Unique Modifier.

| <description>The most reliable PLA PLUS on the planet. Best printed with 200C on the extruder and 45-60C on the bed, minimal retraction is needed. Each spool is $16.99 on WWW.VOXELPLA.COM</description> |

This description is not helpful for users.
The bold claim that this is The Most Reliable PLA PLUS on the planet cannot be fact-checked.
Including the price and website is not a good idea since it's subject to change and can only be updated when shipped with a Cura release.
I suggest removing these mentions and making them a more nuanced message.

Most the printers that you included seem to have a heated bed temperature of 55.
If you change this value to
| <setting key="heated bed temperature">60</setting> | |
| <setting key="heated bed temperature">55</setting> |
Then you can remove all the mentions of heated bed temperature in the printers and you adhere to the DRY principle:

You do not have to repeat every printer definition if the settings are the same.
If you check:
https://github.com/Ultimaker/fdm_materials/blob/master/redd_pla.xml.fdm_material
You can see that they removed the machine definitions and it's still available for all 1.75 printers in Cura.
If you know the specific settings of each printer and they are indeed different, you should keep them in.
I have added 5 new colors of VOXELPLA with retraction and temp setting for the filament
