Bottom line is they are all rosewoods.
They all have that "rosewood tone".
Having said that, there can be differences..but the differences overlap to the point where you could prefer the tone of a cocobolo guitar to a mad rw when comparing one set of otherwise "identical" guitars, mad rw to coco with a different set, Indian rosewood to coco with a third, mad to IR on a fourth, IR to mad on a fifth. etc. etc.etc.
I own guitars built with each of these woods.
I tend to prefer Mad RW to coco.
My favorite guitar is built with IR.

If I was ordering "blind"...no chance to play the guitar to see which I preferred? I'd go with Mad RW.
And there you have it
