If you PnP this game, you will end up with a suboptimal looking game that probably has cost more than double than a decent looking original game.
So you really think that making a homebrew version would set me back more than £60?
If you don't want it to look like a big pile of junk, I think it might even cost more than that and still not look as good as the original. And I can't imagine that it costs £30. I paid about €25 in a rather small local game shop.
I don't have to imagine. It's £29.99 in my FLGS, and that's pretty standard for the UK. Then the expansions are roughly £12 a piece on top of that. So, all in it'd set you back in the region of £54 in the UK. Which as you can tell, I don't think it's worth.
EDIT: Corrected a typo.
I haven't made a copy of this game and don't plan of it, but I have done a number of other print and play projects. I'd put the materials cost of making this game at a quality level on par with the original at easily less than $15, probably less than $10, for the base game and both expansions. Even less if you've already bought some of the supplies needed (like spray adhesive) for other projects.
