I do this purely to add a little extra flavor to a fight scene and to make a little nod to the other roleplayer. I wouldn't consider it anything that's necessary or required as that might be needlessly complicated and add more rulesets to what should be a simple /random duel. But when it's done for flavor, I find the fight a little more enjoyable on my end.
For an example I might react to losing a DEF roll 500 against 560 attack as the blow staggering my character versus losing 157 to 736 having the attack completely knocking my character off her feet. But ultimately it depends on how realistically my fight partner sets up possible responses. And sometimes I just ignore the differences if it's going to over-complicate things. I say play with it.
