I think it was more the actual "light saber fighting" that got me. In ANew Hope, at first Luke basically struggled to turn the thing on and then here, these two are both more than component in fighting someone who has at least some training with using the weapon and they had never held one before.
Rey and Finn also have pre-existing fighting skills/experience that Luke didn't have when he found Obi-Wan on Tatooine. While I agree it is a bit of a stretch, I don't think it's a huge leap to think they'd get the hang of it a little faster than someone with no previous fighting skills/experience.
