CO2 regulator - good deal?

Looks like a good deal to me. I have never heard of that brand before though. Perhaps one of our planted tank gurus can chime in--they know much more!!!
 
I like that it includes everything cause I've been looking at the individual pieces and that would be much more expensive. I'm just really paranoid about killing my fish off. This is my first time with co2 and I'm a bit nervous so I want to make sure I have good equipment that isn't going to suddenly poison everyone!
 
How can this regulator be sooo cheap and be good? Everywhere else I find has aquatek regulators for about $130. I wonder if this is some sort of chinese knock off?

The regulator I've been looking at on Green Leaf is like $150. I could buy two of these ebay ones for that.
 
from the shopping I've done so far, needle valves have been much cheaper than regulators. But it also seems like the needle valve would be more important to invest in.
 
Preset working pressure and it being a single stage regulator are both drawbacks (IMHO).

It's a PITA to gather all of the components (used regulator, new check valve & solenoid) and hook them up yourself, but for the same or little more $, you could have a studly Victor or other good brand 2 stage regulator etc.
