I don't think the page count is an illusion. 372 pages appears much more complicated than 64 pages.
I understand the Beginner Box is meant to be an introduction to the Pathfinder Core Rules, but it is equally suitable to being a stand alone product imo, even if its never supported beyond whats already been done.
It's not jut the number of pages either, the crb fits a lot more words per page than does the BB. So we're not talking six times the reading, more like (I'd hazard to guess) ten times minimum.
