For most small to medium projects I'm not sure why you would ever want to buy CF anyway - hosting seems the way to. Since the development servers are free you can create and publish a CF application for very little money just as you would anything else.
In my experience the cost of CF server (at $1200) is insignificant in the scheme of any project where they'll be buying and managing their own servers.
