OK. We had a mom in our office that had this system. The bottle nipple is horrible. It has a base that is very firm and stimulates baby to chew with a strong stream of milk coming out. Baby does not have to suck to get milk out. This is a problem with many, many bottle nipples - they encourage chewing instead of sucking to get a flow of milk. And we know from Donna Geddes research that babies suck to elicit let-down and the breast ejects milk to the baby rather than the baby squeezing the milk out of the breasts. SO any bottle that imprints "biting" on the baby as a way of getting out milk is going to interfere with a baby's imprinting on sucking.

Having pumped for both my children using conventional storage bags (Lansinoh, in case you're wondering), I'd say this sounds like an expensive way of solving problems that I found to be very minimal or non-existent in practice.
Leaking bags? Had a freebie sample leak once (can't remember which brand or I'd tell you, but it had a wire tie to fasten around the top, if that helps), but can't remember ever having a Lansinoh bag leak on me in a total of sixteen months of using them regularly (eight months per child).
Pouring from bag to bottle? Yeah, I was nervous about this, but it was quite easy in practice and I don't remember any problems with spillage. And I am not Ms Dexterity.
Storing in date order? Cleared out a shelf in the freezer, stacked the bags on there. Incoming bags went on top of the stack, and when I wanted a bag I slid one out from the bottom of the stack. I found out the hard way it's important to take a second to check the bag's flat with no corners poking up before you leave it to freeze, but other than that it was a simple system that worked well and gave me space to store a lot more milk than would have been possible with that contraption taking up space.
I can't even figure out from that page how many pouches and teats are in the gift set, but I'm guessing it's a lot fewer than you could buy with that same money if getting Lansinoh bags and whatever you care for in the way of ordinary bottles/teats. Wouldn't recommend it.
Best wishes,
Sarah
