I just received the primary color set yesterday and will try them out this weekend. My main motivation for getting this set is to focus on painting with a limited palette. If I have my watercolor kit I'm always using all the colors. I also needed something else for free shipping. :)
I remember in your review of the primary set, the purple was a little dull. Do you think the new magenta gives you a better purple? And does the green help for mixing greens? This green color doesn't look very natural to me but maybe it's good for mixing. It would be interesting to see a comparison of purples and greens mixed with only the primary set versus mixed with the two new colors.
