You really should by all of the sets from both Tom's and GMM. They are not identical, so you will be missing some items that either Tom carries or GMM.
It may sound wrong, but you really should seriously consider every photoetch product made for your Titanic. Why? Well, if you are going to the trouble of putting in hours and hours to make your ship look top-notch, why scrimp a little and shortchange yourself just to save a few dollars?
They might seem a little expensive, but the photoetch products add so much to your model, you might end up sorry you didn't purchase products from Tom's and GMM. I intend to buy them all. With some of the leftover items, you can use them to fabricate other things you need to replace the plastic pieces.
If you don't have the money all at once, but a little at time, the ship won't be finished in a day, so you will have time to plan out which sets you need first.
Tom and GMM both make terrific products. I say go for it, and make your ship look the best it can be!
