MSD Distributor Gear

MSD Distributor Gear
Hello. I have a quick question. I have an MSD 8566 Pro-Billet Distributor I'm going to put on my Olds 455 at some point. I believe I read that the distributor gear that comes with it is a .491" gear, and will cause wear issues. I also have a CAT DG-455M gear, but I believe it is also a .491" gear, so it's no better (if what I've read/heard is correct).
So, is this true? I think I need a .500" gear, correct?
Again, I believe I read somewhere that I need the MSD 85661 gear, but I don't believe they make them anymore. I've looked for them and there are a few, but they go for around $100+. If this is the gear I need for my MSD distributor, should I grab a few of them ASAP so I have them, or am I over-reacting?
Thanks for your time!!
