I just put the same surcoat up on ebaY - I've got enough Crusader and Templar gear, that was just overkill. The stuff from MC is ok, after a while though, you may find that you'll be needing to replace some of it as the pieces themselves are pretty durable, but things like straps, buckles and lacings are not. I had those same 'Crusader legs w/hard knees' and the lace on the back of one of them snapped as I tried to loosen it to get it on. Little stuff, but it can get on your nerves.
With that said, on a limited budget, you can't go wrong here- although some of the more historically-accurate forumites would tell you to just save your money to get something really accurate/cool/whatever and they'd have a point, but where's the fun in that? Half the fun is in acquisitions and trade- if you don't like it, someone else probably will so you move it along and acquire something new. Have fun, above all.
