most of the plants will be 5 stems + 1 bunch

for stem plants like rotala indica, it is 5 stems not 5bucnhes or pots. You dont get enough of 1 plant in those bunch kits, much better to buy your own. Not all of them are easy to grow either

I agree, I tired one of these. some plants will die because its impossible to catter for all of their needs. Try to use just Five or Six species with some good hardscape

Yes, I agree as well. It is better to order alla carte and get enough of what you need and to get plants that you know will do well in your system. Some of those on the list, R. macrandra jumps to mind, are not easy to grow unless you've got the right setup and will be a waste of money.
