Thoughts on this complete brewery setup

Okay so let me start of by saying that I have been trolling these forums for a while now and in the past 2 months done a few coopers kits and also some partial mashes, now I would like to move onto all grain and are looking at sourcing the right equipment.

I live in Cape Town, South Africa and homebrewing is not very big here and we are really limited to a few suppliers, my preferred supplier being the one I will list below.

In my quest to source the correct equipment I was thinking of perhaps just buying this complete setup instead of sourcing the equipment piece by piece.

It comes to a total of about $1100, what do you guys think?

Here we get the white lab vial for $7.
It means that the sculpture the OP would pay $1100 over there would cost $700 in the US. For a gravity fed sculpture with 3 pots, all the connections and a chiller, it sounds good!
