In that case I could use this for half the price...

Well, i got lucky, someone I knew was selling their 10gal MegaPot 1.2 from Northern Brewer and it had valve and thermometer built in. But at the time i was looking at a 15 gal brew pot on Amazon for about $150, and i thought it had a valve installed

Look like you found me the new boil kettle I've been needing!
Damn you
Ditto unless you are sensitive to aluminum. Couldn't stand brewing with an aluminum pot. You'd be surprised how small a large pot can be when you manage to boil over a 7 gallon batch in a 15 gallon pot.
I'm a SS guy now but I started with aluminum. If you use Bar Keepers Friend, sold cheap at Home Depot or the grocery store, your SS will always look brand new. Takes off rust, beer stone, and everything else plus passivates the steel again.
Budweiser kegs can also be converted for cheap if you've got the tools to do it. If you do choose to go with aluminum though you can boil water in it as mentioned, or use the oven if it fits.

Looks like I will be able to make it unless something unexpected comes up

No. Very sensitive to aluminum. All I have to do is touch it and I can taste it. Yuk. I can pick it out as an off flavor in beer brewed in an aluminum pot. I just choose to ignore it if the beer is really good but not my beer. No way. No how.
I was about to post this.... http://www.morebeer.com/products/14-gallon-stainless-brew-kettle.html
But the one you posted is like twice the size for 1/3 the price. If you can actually snag that thing for under $100 that's a steel!!.....see how I did that lol.
Herve brings up a good point too in that some people are sensitive to aluminum. I can't really pick it up but some definitely do.
Not sure that I want the valve or thermometer at this point. Wouldn't the thermometer probe snag the bag? I currently have an instant read. And don't you have to completely disassemble the valve and probe to clean it?
You could always remove the thermometer and plug the hole. I just flushed the kettle with clean water. The valve will be sitting at 200 + degrees for at least an hour. 90 minutes was the minimum for me. That will sanitize the valve pretty easily unless it is full of gunk. If your worried. Just run off a gallon or 2 of boiling wort. That will do it.
Well, i never had anything snag on the thermo probe...yet. And i never remove the valve, i just flush it withhot soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Not sure if its right or wrong, but it works for me. And if you want to remove, a 3 piece ball valve looks easier to remove and clean
