Are there any consequences for not beating the Luca Goers in FFX

final-fantasy-10

I've just started playing through FFX HD Remaster on my Vita, and I've been beaten by the Luca Goers, aside from my wounded pride is there any reason I shouldn't just carry on? I know I can beat them if I try a few times, but I don't want to if there isn't a good reason.

The only gameplay difference is that winning awards a strength sphere. Strength spheres can be added to the sphere grid (in place of an empty location), which characters can then activate for +4 strength.

While strength spheres are rare, they are by no means unique, as they can eventually be acquired by killing Juggernaut in the Monster Arena, allowing you to obtain arbitrarily large numbers with enough time investment.
