1: It's a popular enough game it's worth the $20 to be able to game with
everyone else.
2: In an espionage game, I'd only toss out the sections on nonhuman races,
magic, and magic using classes. I'd have to write up new equipment, new
examples, and some new skills / feats--but a good portion of the book
wouldn't vanish.
3: If I was REALLY cheap, I could say "go to my website and download the
chargen rules." (Right?)
