I have a worksharp 3000 (the bigger one) and I was thinking the same thing as you. find some cheaper discs and use those. Which I did.
They supply norton discs though and those are of superior quality. I have started using Norton sanding paper exclusively lately and it is so far superior to anything else I have tried. When I need worksharp discs I think I am going to get those. Have you been using the rubber thing it came with to clean the sandpaper. I have and I really havent needed to replace any of mine yet.
I did find some 6" discs that I use for all kinds of stuff and may end up using on it too. I go to a car flea market during the spring-fall. Not sure if you have one of those near you, but you can get lots of pretty good quality sandpaper from the auto body guys that sell at those types of things. I have found up to 600 grit. Even being a name brand it doesn't hold up like the norton abrasives.
