Not really, sharp is sharp. Having said that, the smaller 5/8 size blades are easier to navigate for the beginner and come recommended. The intent of the 7-day set is just to keep from having to hone your razor as often. In the case of a set like this, you'll probably make it a year without honing as opposed to a single razor which would have to be honed every couple months.
