Don't mean to be negative but that is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. There is no reason not to build your own plane and learn to fly it. I have been teaching people to fly planes they built for over 25 years and I can't think of one trainer lost during training. Eventually, you will crash it, but that is part of the learning curve and planes fix pretty easy.
Don't let someone scare you out of building. It is an enjoyable part of the hobby. Doesn't really matter what you build, you will be able to learn to fly either of the kits you have narrowed your choice to.
