I'm not an expert on the Campy tool set lust. I think a lot of the set predates certain modern parts, and as a result it is far from complete. Think of modern headsets. Also. It is an old tool, there are premium makers of cutting tools today, maybe Strawberry, why not go there? Keep in mind it isn't so much Campy after it has been sharpened once, so why not buy the stuff from the guys who sharpen it today, or similar. Though some like the format of Campy better. For practicality It would be a "no" for me.

The other side though is price. That is far from the highest price I have heard, and with a little research you might be able to confirm that you will be scooping a very cool old piece with little real risk that you will pay much or anything for holding on to it for a while. A lot of folks start with cheap tools and then upgrade later, the approach of buying vintage at a decent price is not likely to be more costly.
