This is just my opinion FWIW. In a tying starter kit, you get the cheapest of everything. You may find that you're better off in the long run to determine a few flys that you want to tie then get the materials to tie them. The price of the materials will be considerably less than most starter kits and you can use the savings to get a better vise. If you find that you like to tie, you'll undoubtedly add to your stock of supplies anyway. But you will only add the materials you want not a lot of stuff in a kit that you may never use.
The same logic can be applied to rod/reel. For a little more than what you would pay for a so-called starter kit, you can get something that will last a life-time. Just look around, ask to try a friends rod, get a store demonstration etc. before you spend. Again...just my opinion. Good luck.
