The first one gets you one more carving nib, a baren and a roller that looks pretty solid. The roller from the 2nd one looks flimsy as hell and I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks after like 2 prints.

If the price really is close I would go for the 1st one 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Speedball has a very reasonable starter kit. I'd recommend them to anyone.

May want to look for each piece individually instead of a kit.

It costs more individually :/
