Grade 25s are top line, extra hard bearings. You can spend a lot more for ceramic or stainless steel bearing balls, but the law of diminishing returns applies.

Short answer: no.

BTW, for a while the supplier where I buy my bearing balls was handling Grade 24. I'd never heard of them before being handed a box. I've since been reduced to settling for 25s. :-(
