    There are Pantone colors that are outside the CMYK and RGB color spaces. If you're doing print and spec'ing PMS colors you need a sample book. Printing on coated or uncoated paper can also dramatically effect color - you need a swatch book to live up to your professional responsibility to your client ... or else you're slacking. You might get lucky a few times but it'll be only a matter of time before you get burned and the client is pissed and there's 5000 of some printed piece that looks like crap. Bite the bullet and buy the tools needed to do the job right - like I said, bill it back to them.
