And I'd rather get the cards than level up. I don't level up in FFVIII until the end of the 3rd disc when I have all stat boosting GF abilities. IMO, every level up is wasted if you didn't have 4 stat boost abilities equipped. You can't undo a level up. But then, I'm lazy and rather wait with Lionheart until disc 3 altogether. You don't need it that early anyway, the game is easy enough
