I'd highly recommend going with a Soto Amicus ($40) or Windmaster ($65) instead. The Amicus is really nice and the Windmaster is more deluxe with nicer performance specs. I have an Amicus and love it. It's reliable, wind resistant, efficient, simmers pretty well, light, compact.
Some people here are fans of the BRS-3000 stove but be aware that even though it's even lighter and cheaper, it has terrible wind performance, bad efficiency, takes longer to boil, doesn't simmer very well, has lots of reports of collapsing or just crapping out completely.
Getting one of those stoves along with a nice titanium pot, you'll be much lighter and more compact than a Jetboil. You can choose the size and shape of pot you want rather than being locked into a heavy proprietary one, and you can switch pots which would be nice if you're sharing your stove with other people who have their own mug or pot.
For pots I'd recommend the Toaks 550 Light or 650 Light for their light weight and convenient shape and handles. But there are lots of other great pots to choose from depending on your cooking style.
To give you an idea of weight: my Amicus is 2.54oz, my 550 pot and lid is 2.52oz, for a total of 5.06oz. Compared to the lightest Jetboil which is 12oz.
I use a pocket rocket 2 (big fan, the Deluxe looks good too) with an Optimus Terra Weekend HE cookset. The Terra is still a two piece and non-stick like the Vango, but also has these Heat Exchange fins that supposedly reduce boil time by like 20%. I haven't tested that claim but I have cooked in it and I would recommend it to others.
But I would also second the recommendation to just get a single light pot, which gets way more use than the pan for me. i've got a [Toaks 650ml] (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SMFNAZW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that i like a lot for when i don't need to share food (which is why i usually bring the pan part of the Terra)
However, if both options here are more expensive wherever you are due to international shipping or whatever, the Vango set is probably fine. Nothing looks terribly off about it
