But I wouldn't pick any one of them out as THE third core book. And having six or seven core books seems a bit much.
I'd call those the expanded core. Not necessary for all campaigns, but almost any campaign will sort of need at least one of them.

I think I'd say almost any GURPS campaign will gain a huge benefit from (but not necessarily requires) one or more of those extended core books depending on the focus of the campaign, and the relevant Tech book.
