Well I hate the word redundant, but to answer your question honestly, yes. The B61PM is not needed to play or understand B61 at all. It is a companion piece to the core rules the houses all the basic info a player needs for his or her character (skills, character generation, equipment). Its a cheaper alternative then having 2 or 3 copies of the main book to ease character creation, but is totally unnecessary if you already have GORE or a similar BRP book to begin with.
The same will go for the GMsGuide due next year. Its a handy resource with some bonus material, but all the basic game needs is B61 and GORE (or BRP like base game).
So if you are on that much of a budget and dont want to spend the money ($1.25 for PDF and rought $9 for print with shipping) then Id stay away from it.
Sure I want you hard earned money but I also want to be true and honest with fellow gamers.
