I did not sand between coats but I also used cabinet grade plywood and the grain stays down very nicely on it. Just make sure you wipe the surface down well with a tack cloth or similar before you put the primer coat down.
As far as cost, the gallon of Valspar I bought was around $25. It was not much more expensive than a pint, if I remember correctly, so I got the larger amount for future use. However, you won't use much at all for a CP. A gallon of Kilz was less than $10 and lasts forever. You will need at least two rollers (or one roller and two pads(?)). One for the Kilz and one for the paint. And something to pour the paint into. And that's it. This paint has proven to be extremely durable.
Painting with a roller is very easy. You also don't have to worry about brush strokes. Good luck.
