Yours look good too, just a bit advanced for the less well trained.
The Tac-Packs are put together by a buddy who is the Chief of Trauma at an NYC hospital and seem pretty well geared to ABC for a layman.
The price, IIRC, is less than $20 each, and it is handy to have all of that stuff together in one compact package when you need it. Frankly, if you are not a medic, you are unlikely to haul anything much larger or bulkier except for SF and those truly dedicated. I did carry a personal aid kit with meds, a few instruments, and lots of IVs, but in most states, the Good Samaritan statutes end when you start puncturing the skin of a patient.
The key is to have what you are competent to use with you when you need it.
