On eBay I just got a Fred V. Fowler 36pc. carbide gage block set for close to 10% of the going price. That price is somewhat shocking!

I have a 81pc. steel gage block set that I may keep because it contains blocks the 36pc. set doesn't.
Is this necessary or would you just make do with the 36pc. carbide set?
Beside low heat transfer and resistance to abrasion what are the advantages of a carbide set over a steel set?
