Shun, MAC or something else?

I've been looking to invest in a good set of kitchen knives, and both Shun & MAC have stellar reviews. Not sure if I want to get a packaged set, or go the individual route to start out. I figure I should have at least an 8" chef's, 3.5" paring, and either a utility, or a bread knife to begin with, and maybe that's all I would need.

Here's a couple of sets that I'm interested in:

Thoughts on these or other knives I should look at?
