Finishing Tool Kit


I have never used any finishing tools and certainly don't know a thing about them. I am thinking of getting the columbia kit for for 1700.00 and just sticking with the banjo for taping. I guess I wouldn't mind spending more if I was missing something, but it seems like this set covers most of it, I think???
Thought I would run it by the pros...

Did you get the bazooka, that and my mud runner are my two favorite finishing tools and save a lot of time.

I did. I was having a tough time on the ceiling but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I like the corner tools for sure. You think I should be concerned about using mud runners on metal corner bead? I don't know I just started using it and I got hung up on a seam in the bead and didn't like that...
