Similar and probably more affordable are kits from Down East Microwave.
Don't let the "microwave" part fool you as he has kits that start as low
as 50 MHz. I've built several of the transverters from DEM which all
had SMT components.
I'm pretty sure that some of the kits from Kanga USA are also SMT type
projects. Also check out some from the NJ QRP and AMQRP Clubs. These
would likely be the easiest and cheapest all things considered.
You should likely find a kit that you can actually put to use rather
than building it for the sake of building SMT. I think it would be
foolish to build a 10 GHz transverter, for example, if you have no use
for it. On the other hand one of the many gadgets from NJQRP or AMQRP
might be much more suitable because it might provide a useful widget and
be lots cheaper than the 10 GHz XVTR.

Can someone suggest a kit using SMT components that would be a good
learning experience for someone wanting to learn SMT techniques?

make some nice high performance Microwave kits, these are SMT and not
too hard to build.
SMT components are ideal for microwave applications
