Again, it is hard to compare because I don't know enough about Finnish.
the first option is rather simple, assuming we have a good psuedo-random generator with low bias margins. we get:
A-Z,a-z,0-9 = 58 options,
Length = 16
58^16/2 is the target.
Second option is weaker IMO because we know that plain brute-force is rarely being used today for anything over 13~14 characters.
We mostly use masks\dictionaries to try common passwords, phrases, sequences. So even if there's a very small chance that someone would have some kind of heuristic rule that targets Finnish orthography\honology, it is still more likely than someone successfully brute-forcing 16 random chars+numbers.
Another interesting observation is that fact that it contains common English words by chance. things like rock or tent. those can increase the chance of a dictionary success(our 32 chars starts breaking apart) whereas the 16 chars are random so in nature there are less prone to contain common English words
