A good deal... Hmm hard to say... I have the same system. The lighting you will need to upgrade, it only comes with a 13 watt 50/50 bulb. I removed the "stock" fixture and retro fitted my hood with a 36 watt T5 ho 50/50 to get the 3 watts per gal. recommendation fro my corals. The pump that is on the system is rather weak where flow for corals is concerned so I added a Koralia power head #1 to my tank and man do I have flow now!! Filtration seems to work well, no real complaints there, just be sure to add enough LR to the system. My Bio wheel works well in combination with the LR. The lighting will only need upgraded if you plan on having corals in your tank.
Good luck with everything.

And the saltwater kit does come with the 36w 50/50 lighting. It still isn't all that great, though. I had coral in it for 6 months and after I upgraded the first time, my coral exploded in size within a month under much better PC lighting. It's all under MH in my latest (and likely final) tank upgrade.
My Eclipse is now a QT, and will likely be going offline for the first time in a year and a half this month.
