If they can't hear the difference between the two then they aren't going hear the difference regardless if its amplified. It is more consistent in that you don't have to worry about getting a bad piece of tusq like you would have to worry about getting a bad piece of bone. However, if you are one that can hear the tonal difference and don't like the sound of tusq, its a bit of a moot point.
But in the end people will buy what they think sounds best, and I can't fault them for following their ears, psychosomatics excluded.
