Consider adding a second 5500W heating element wired directly to a 240 volt power cord. For a $30 element and the cost of welding a second heater flange to the tank you will cut heat up time in half. (Start a run with both elements at 5500W and shut off this full power element as the wort approaches distilling temperature and adjust the distilling temperature with the variable control.)
The heat controller pictured on you web site uses a short heating element (High energy density). This element will be more likely to scorch your wort (and the suspended solids) than a system using a longer element (low energy density). (e.g. the Camco 02962/02963 5500W Heater Element available on Amazon.com)
How often do you plan to run the still? I would expect to run at least 5 to 10 still runs a week.
You have only one fermenter to feed the still so you will be limited to one or possibly 2 runs a week. For a minimal equipment package skip the stainless conical fermenter and ferment in plastic barrels. You could use 30 or 55 gallon open head drums or food grade trash cans (e.g. Rubbermaid Brute). With 10 drums you can feed the still.
If you want the stainless bling consider a larger fermenter which will hold 3 or more still charges.
Look for the 55 gallon drums locally. Almost every city will have a drum recycler who can sell you once used food grade barrels for a small fraction of the price you quoted. (I recently purchased some 20 gallon barrels, used to ship salt, for $15 each. I would expect to find 55 gallon drums for between $10 and $55 each)
Direct heat for mashing will be labor intensive. You will need to stir continuously to avoid burning the mash at the bottom.
Consider steam injection mashing. You can use your still pot and connect pipes to the bottom of the mash vessel to inject LOW PRESSURE steam into the mash. (Of course this needs a 5 or 10 psi pressure relief valve to prevent excess pressure!)
If you will ferment on the grain you can mash in the fermentation vessel.
A Google search for steam injection mashing will give many references.
