Paint set recommendations

Hey! I’m getting into watercolor and want to get a semi-nice set to learn and progress with. Options in local stores are limited so I’m thinking of getting either the sennelier 12 cololour set or white night 16 colour (Amazon links below) has anyone got opinions on either of these or potentially better recommendations?
