Is this ELK kit missing anything that the standard ~$600 kit has?

I am suspicious that it is so low.

Is there a better start kit to get?

Thanks

that is the correct kit(as long as that is the keyboard that you like, they have a similar kit with ELKM1GSYS4S with the keyboard you can flush mount
Those guys are not authorized dealers so you will not have a warranty.

So I will get a warranty only if I buy from one of the 11 stores listed on their website?

I can not comment on that, but I can tell you I have bought a lot of elk stuff. None of it from any of those stores. I have never had anything fail to function properly.

Odds are, if it works out of the box, it won't fail except for gross negligence or lightening strike. I don't think either of those are covered by warranty anyway. I have had pretty good luck with amazon merchants in the past.

Technically, any panel bought through a 3rd party retailer is subject to have warranty claims denied.

Typically speaking you have to have bought your panel through a reputable company; and technically speaking, I believe you're normally supposed to contact the company you purchased it from first rather than going directly to elk... but I've never really heard of Elk not offering help for hardware issues (though they do prefer this forum as the first line of defense to keep their DIY support reasonable).
