I've had others tell me that sounded expensive but they didn't provide a better solution. The panel referenced is a basic panel too with not touch screen. It is UL listed and that is going to be important.
The best system you can go with is SCR Control and Ultra Low Watt Density Elements. Your total control system should have the necessary high limit protection that is typical of this type of setup. All of the Electrical system panels need to be located where they can be accessed and serviced easily, and ideally well away from water sprays even if they are wet location panels.
All of the field wiring has to be done with high quality terminations and should not be done by a novice.
