I don't know anything about that kit but if it has everything that you actually need then it's a good deal @ $65.

The added resistance due to the length of the wire is negligible. A 4 guage copper wire that is 1000' long has  0.253 ohms of resistance at ambient temps. A 1 guage wire would be 0.126. We are only talking about 15' of wire. There would be a small voltage drop but again, it isn't significant.

As soon as I get some time I'm going to do it but I won't be using a kit.
