I also have the Barn Doors, Grid and Gels. I can't tell from the pictures if the light stands are the same. I have 40" umbrellas, and a three (3) light setup, that included an IR Trigger. The kit you linked to is the best price I have seen for that grouping of items. I have that much invested, without the softbox umbrella or backdrop stands and backdrops.

I have had no problems what so ever with mine. I will say this, I tried to get a sandwashed and I got what they called a Chestnut. They were out of the sandwashed at the time, DO NOT get the chestnut unless you want an orange backdrop. I have never used it yet and wasted my money. Not exactly their fault so I am not blaming them. Just learn from my mistake. You just never know exactly what color a background will be until you get it. 40D, 20D, 24-105 4.0L, 24 2.8, 70-200 2.8L, 18-55 kit lens, 2 x 430ex's, way too many extras to list and even more that I need
