I would not say that I am tight, in fact I would consider myself the
opposite.

I do however like to have choices.

If I have the choice of paying say $1000 for (legal) proprietary software to
do all that I do with free Linux software I do not think twice about it.

I am sure that the same picture painted to any congregation may provoke
similar sentiments.

The reason why cost saving is not a big deal is that most people I know 
in church circles aren't that tight.
