VR blower package vs local shop

Am I retarded to even consider Vengeance Racing PD stage II package + meth...

Magnuson TVS2650R – includes Vengeance Racing valve covers and coil relocation kit
Cold Air Intake System
GM 3 Bar MAP Sensor
Mighty Mouse Solutions Catch Can System
2” Stainless Longtube Headers
3” Stainless Connection Pipes with Green Cats
GM Exhaust Gaskets
180* Thermostat
High Performance Spark Plug Set

If I can get the following for literally like ~$2K more out the door from a local shop (very reputable)?

PC D1X: Stage II I/C, helical, race bypass valve, black finish
PP ported heads/TB/IM
PP Cam kit with upgraded parts (johnson lifters, cometic gaskets, ARP bolts)
2” TSP LT with offroad pipes
GPI Forged drop-in piston/rods
LT4 Fuel (HPFP, injectors, in-tank)
AUX lowside kit
Meth kit
FF sensor
Monster triple disc clutch

Granted VR is based on a PD blower which is little more expensive plus valve cover and coil relocation kit, but good lord they’re expensive (going off of their web posted price). I’ve no doubt they are top notch (techs, facility), meticulous when it comes to their work, and provide fantastic customer service (e-mail exchange and good reviews), but does it warrant the extra extra extra cost? Their stage V pro charger setup is somewhat comparable (still lacking in terms of parts) but after taxes and vehicle shipping, that's well over $30K.

What do you guys think?
