I checked their listing and I agree; it's hard to see any difference
between their $4 and $7 disk set.

This is true, you can mount an iso image that's sitting on your HD. What
would be a problem would be trying to use the installer to install
anything from the second CD as the installer would expect you to be able
to "put" that CD into the same mount location as the first disk. I don't
know any way to get past that, though there may be one. If you want to
read a bit about how to do the mount, check man mount and look for the
"loop" option.
