The Edge are better. These have quite a few complaints.
Did you read all the 1 star complaints? If you remove 1 star complaints about Costco delivery and return issues. There is 2 legit 1/2/3 star reviews/complaints vs 22 5/4 star reviews. Most of the reviews didn't even leave a review.
That math doesn't math. Plus Costco return policy is better than anyone's.
1. Go to a club shop and use their simulators to get an idea of my average swing speed. Use online swing speed vs. shaft flex charts to get an idea of what stiffness of shaft I should be playing.
2. Using the online PING color code chart (free online), I would measure my wrist to floor and height to figure out approx. what length of iron and lie I need.
3. Search on ebay/pro shop/garage sale and find a used set of clubs based on those stats.
4. Get lessons and practice with that set until I can consistently shoot in the 70's/80's.
5. Once I hit that metric, I would look at investing into a quality set (used or new).
I'm tried many "beginner sets" and to be honest, the quality across the board isn't all that great. The feel and build quality is good enough to get a ball in the air but thats where it ends. A young player in the their teens/20's with a very high swing speed isn't going to utilize the clubs the same way as a player with a much slower swing speed. Most beginner sets have pretty flexible shafts (also low quality) which can cause shots to inadvertently go right or left because of how it kicks. This might teach a player to swing a certain way which may actually be far from optimal to what they really should be doing ie. learning a bad swing which can take a long time to fix. Its better to start with a solid built used set that's made for your approx. swing speed and body dimensions than a box set that is made for "everyone". It won't be an exact science when you start off, but at least you can groove your swing with clubs that aren't far off to where they will eventually end up in a few years when you actually learn to flush the ball correctly.

To get from mid/low 80's and hit the 70's usually just takes smarter play and better decision making on the course (which you can't effectively learn on a driving range unless you practice with a purpose and know what you're lacking).
I'd get something with all graphite shafts.
Edge are a great deal and probably perfect for a beginner - I use them and I've been playing for 15 yrs.
I was not a beginner, but I got a set because of price point. Callaway Edge is the best starter set period. I used them for a summer and they will be perfect for someone getting started.
