Whats the difference between employing new geometrical set and part body in the CATIA?

Hi,
Creation of new part bodies will help us to use the boolean operation in CATIA, but whats the benefit of creating a new geometrical set in the part file?

Geometric Sets are used to group reference geometry (points, lines, surfaces, etc). You can have all the reference geometry in one big Geom Set, or distribute it between several Geom Sets (which is very beneficial when working on big, complex parts).

(If you're working in the Hybrid Design mode, Geometric Sets are not as useful (IMHO) since the reference geometry can be placed in Bodies)
