  1. An enthusiastic-looking Lazenby in place of a bored and out-of-shape Connery would carry the film along better.
  2. Lazenby would most likely not demand such a ludicrously high salary.
  3. Without there being a need for a high salary, cut-backs for the props and SFX would not be necessary -
    and so artitiscally, the film would look miles better! (Especially the space-buggy scene.)
    As for the change in tone and humour - that is quite a different matter.

We'll never know for certain what would have happened if he'd stayed with the Bond franchise. Would we have gotten more grounded, less tongue in cheek films as was the case with Roger Moore? Maybe, maybe not. The films were tailored as much to the actors as they were to the flavor of16d0 whatever else went on in pop culture at the time. Even those Bonds we regard more highly than Roger Moore were not immune to bad scripts and silly humor.
