I couldn't find what exactly is included in the Taylor kit on amazon. It's clearly listed on the tftestkits page for the TF100. Sounds like the bottles r different sizes and most people likke the blue box better, but I'd have to say one perk of the TF100 is that you can easily see what's what since labels r visible on their sides unless they spin around, although, it's not easy to organize them in the fishing lure box they come in.
Is it safe to say that the reagents r the same?:
