If 3..a6 really loses a tempo, then what would be wrong with 3...Nc6 or
3...Qc7?

Nothing, if you don't mind playing against the oczy Bind (4. c4 after 3.
d4 exd4), or my accelerated version 3. c4.

I'll just honestly say I don't know, but if you really want the answer,
a good way to see whether certain opening set-ups work or not is to
play casual (for example, 5 min games on ICC) with it against the
strongest possible players. I think this is even more important than
looking it up in a book or a database as the only way to know if an
opening strategy fits you is to try it. Too often, I have seen a neat
game in a magazine or database, and tried the opening - only to find
the "neat" version is very rare.
