I wouldn't spend the money on EK complete package if you're getting TBR also. You can just get bio from EK and 1001 for bio. (IMO)
 
lol, looking at the price tag of your current list, you weren't kidding about having some extra cash.

im going to take the exam this summer as well (crossing fingers). apparently tbr is the best for the PS section due to the extensive amount of practice problems. EK is solid for verbal and tbr/tpr hyp is great for bio (detailed) while EK bio is solid for non-detailed bio. this is basically what ive gathered from stalking the mcat thread last summer. i may check out tbr verbal but i really haven't heard enough testimonials to suggest it.

the other important thing is that practice probs are the best way to prepare. id focus more on getting in a ton of problems (aamc CBTs plus extra problems from other books..making sure to save aamcs for last since they are the closest to real questions in difficulty, format and style) as opposed to reading and trying to learn from/memorize as many books as possible.
