Depends on what you personally consider "cheaper"... One notable example is the new Ben's hut (probably one of my favourite changes in ANH).

Personally I prefer the original shot that made it look like they had a real building and a real vehicle (which the did) which matches the beautifully photographed interior set (which it does) to the new shot which looks like a toy diorama.

We have a very different taste when it comes visual aspects I guess.

Side note: I believe the speeder in original shot was actually inserted through SFX.
