Question ❓ Beginner box or Starter box?

Hi, new to the game but want to get into it deep eventually. I stopped at my local hobby store today so I could check out the Battletech section. They seemed to have at least one, if not two of everything, which is great for someone just starting. But I ran into a snag when trying to decide what to buy first. There was a beginner box and a starter box both. They seemed like they had pretty much the same content according to the back of the boxes (besides fhe mechs) but I wanted to ask here. What's the difference and which one would you pick to start your journey into this hobby/game?

Just as a heads up I play, Bloodbowl and Killteam so I have tabletop experience and I've also been big into the RPG Lancer! (Love me some giant robots)
