Homebrew Starter Kit Purchase

Last November, I bought my first homebrew starter kit. I went into a store thinking I would get the all glass kit, which was priced at $150. The store convinced me that the half glass kit was the way to go. He was so adamant about it, that I decided to just get the half glass kit for $130 so that I can just make my purchase and leave. I got a recipe made out by this guy for a pale ale for my first batch.

After looking into it a little bit more, I saw a groupon for an all plastic starter kit for $64, which also included a $25 coupon towards an extra recipe kit. With a glass carboy being around $40, this would've been a great deal for me, but 1) I already had a kit, and 2) I didn't feel the need to hoard brewing kits.
