Well given that d20 Star Wars and the EQ PHB will run you $70 plus tax, $90 plus tax dosn't look so bad
Then, of course, you get into the fact that the Star Wars book is pretty limited in utility for running an EQ based fantasy campaign. It can be probably be done, but not without a *lot* of elbow grease.
Of course, you could buy the EQ RPG PHB to help flesh things out.
That said, if you bought the EQ PHB to obtain EQ races and the point-based spell system, why bother with the Star Wars book at all? The EQ PHB contains roughly 90% of the non-setting-specific information found in Star Wars and tons os EQ setting specific info.
To me, if one wants to run an Everquest game, the Star Wars d20 game seems like a rather bizarre choice of systems to do it.
Given that a complete RPG dedicated to the Everquest setting exists and will only set somebody back roughly $25 more dollars than the Star Wars + EQ PHB apprach, it seems really bizarre.
