RE: The Case For Counters / Against Print-and-Play
Since a second set of Beyond Normandy counters are required for some, yes just a handful, of it scenarios, I'd like to see sets of the BN counters be made available in "laser-cut" fashion.

I was suggesting more for the laser cut treatment on BN counters. I really like the Kursk Southern Front counters that I just received over the weekend.

You might be better off buying a second-hand copy and just tossing the maps, though. The older PG boxed games have very low resale value and are easy to get ahold of. I bet you could get a second hand copy of BN for less than $20 if you poked around a bit.
If I had the opportunity to score a second copy of something with paper maps (Guadalcanal, BN, AK, DR, C'44), I'd keep the maps as well. I haven't used my paper maps all that much but the wear along some of the map folds is still quite visible. I wouldn't mind having a good set of backup maps in case of a catastrophic map failure down the road.

RE: The Case For Counters / Against Print-and-Play
I never printed a lot of my downloads because I have a lifetime of gaming to be done with my hard copies. HOWEVER, the recent offerings caused me to decide to try and make my counters to see how much investment in time and effort it took before I decided to sink my original download costs and add another $100+ in buying hard copies.
Turns out making counters, at least my technique, is super fast (<2 hours), super cheap (<$3 per counter 165 counters), the print quality is better than laser cut, and I am satisfied with the overall quality for play - no worse than going die cut. While I will certainly buy hard copies, I no longer fear that I won't get around to turning my downloads into physical products.
