Yes, your link is for the EV P-100 Burke upgrade set we've mentioned. There are pictures shown of most of what it comes with in the link you've provided. They also do upgrade sets specific to other classes of ships (like Ticonderoga CGs, Spruance DDs and Virginia CGNs.) I have the Burke set (only.) It is very good quality. The parts are laid out very tightly on their wafers. Patient, careful cutting is required.
The Flight I kit he's describing is this:

I don't have this one. There are pictures provided in the link. Bill can comment more on both this and the EV sets. Previous Message
What is this E"EV accessiry set""? Is it this eBay oppering?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/197476042434
If so, what's in it? How is the quality of the printing?
Who makes this mystery "1/700 Flight 1 A. Burke" kit you're describing? Previous Message
Sometimes I purchase 3D printed models just to take a look see. I build modern 1/700 USN or WW2 USN. So recently I purchased a Benson and Mahan class DD . Nice 3D prints from the evil site done in soft black resin. You get all the major pieces but the really small ones like K-guns, radars, life rafts, ammo boxes, search lights etc. . 20mm guns yes but no other small detail. Both kits are early 1942 so probably too early for floater net baskets and MK-51s also not included.
In Friday’s mail I received a 1/700 Flight 1 A. Burke. No chaff launchers, no crew manned guns and I am still looking for what is missing. Plenty of domes though, enough for 2 A Burkes. Now one would think the EV accessory set for Burkes would come to the rescue and provide missing bits and pieces. Nope ! Just replaces parts already included in the kit.
Memo to self “if I have the 3D printed modern ship model, don’t buy the EV accessory offering”
To resolve these shortages of needed detail I find myself returning to evil site for accessories in 1/700 or turning to my scrap box looking for old Skywave sets.
I guess nothing is perfect……
