If both the tungsten and carbide balls are hard enough that they don't wear then the plates will wear at the same rate. For the plates not to wear as much with the tungsten then the balls would take up some of that wear. If the balls are wearing that can only be a bad thing as the next set of plates will wear even faster and will never be a smooth due to the wear on the balls.
