Oh ok, I see so really there not much reason to ever use that guy unless I want to take a gamble with my materia?

^^ he's a cool extra, but pointless, as you'd be using crappy materia you do not want to meld your desynths, or meld nq crafts youre looking to SB anyway.

That's right, but later in the game you may well end up with a huge amount of comparatively worthless materia (eg through airship ventures or spiritbonding runs) that it makes sense to gamble. I head up there with 50-100 at a time and always come back richer than if I'd sold them directly on the Market Board.

My Dragoon is a level 32 so there is really no point in melding materia to my weapon or gear until i'm max level right? Since I will be upgrading it to higher levels as I progress

Other than that if you have it, you may as well do it as it means the piece that has materia melded to it Spiritbonds 20% faster for each materia. There are achievements for quantity of meld, if you care about that sort of thing. There is also a small weekly repeatable bonus available in your Challenge Log (if and when you have it unlocked) for melding five materia.
