I don't completely trust myself when it comes to shopping for parts just yet...so I figure I'll ask JUST to make sure. These two kits contain the same things, correct?

The Keen Parts link ain't werkin! 
Most of the good weatherstrip(US made) is made by just one or two(maybe three) companies, so quality wise, it's all about the same.
Just make sure the "kit" has all of the stuff you need, and be sure to clean it before installing it. Most of it will have some mold release agent still on it, and that makes it hard to glue down.
Let's see if I can get a link for the Keen Parts page...
Here it is! Looks like they both have the same peices...Keen PartsAdams' Apple 2007-06-27 05:15:30

Here's another place to check:
I don't have any experience with them, but it may be of use for some installation questions, etc. Weatherstrip is on the to do list, but it's being pushed back all the time for other things.
Keep us posted on how you make out - we're all willing to take in any tips and tricks you find.
