But why are you trying to use gnuplot for that?  You need a data 
processing tool, not a plotting program.

When you want to compare data sets in a plotting program, you plot them 
into a common diagram and look at it.  For quantifying differences, you 
run a data processor.

As far as filledcurves is concerned, all it takes would be to transform
your data, adding the "extra" points introduced by "steps" or "fsteps".

x1 y1
x2 y2
x3 y3

-->

x1 y1  # "steps"
x2 y1
x2 y2
x3 y2
x3 y3
