Steam saunas do not require as much heat due to the humidity. However, a dry sauna will cause you to sweat your own sweat more which is apparently beneficial.
I think what I was trying to say was:
The body get just as hot and responds to the humid heat at 130 as it does in a dry 180.

Definitely does. The humidity transfers the heat better. Your body sweats to attain evaporative cooling, which works sufficiently better in dry conditions. In a steam sauna, the humidity is so high, a lot of the moisture on your body is from the steam cooling on your skin. So you aren't sweating our own sweat as much. Sweating is not necessarily the whole goal. You get benefits from the heat just as you do in a dry sauna. But there apparently is some benefit from sweating and you get a little more of that in the dry sauna. I'm no expert, just have done reading on the subject and this seems to be what I find.
Not saying it's not worth it to go steam. Takes less energy and time to heat up. And wanting to build my own that's not going to stay heated all the time like at a gym, that's a huge selling point. If you're getting 95% of the benefit, is it really worth making the jump to the next level which is where the prices really seem to grow.
