Other than Set-Alias being able to change extant aliases, what's the difference between these commands?

One (the only one?) advantage in using new-alias is that you will get an error when you override an existing alias. Otherwise they are synonyms when it comes to alias creation, to quote from help -full new-alias :
To create a new alias, use Set-Alias or New-Alias. To change an alias, use Set-Alias.
