Looks like a good rig, but buying one is a personal choice.
The sales guy is on the right track with the stuff you will need. Of course you will also want to buy a patch kit, and be comfortable that you know how to use it. I would also pick up a multi- tool as well, just in case you need to tighten something en-route.
You will also need to look around for the right backpack for you, you may also want to go with a bike rack and panniers. And a lock.
Test your route between your house and the shop and find an alternate route, just in case.
You may also want to look at fall clothing since the temps are dropping.......
