In that case would the answer be leave it unless there are issues?
The opinion seems to be that Tusq is as good as bone.
How about rosewood saddles vs bone saddles on an archtop?
Tusq vs. bone??? Hard to say, sort of Beatles vs. Stones. Both great but different. I've never done a side by side by side evaluation. People with better ears than mine would agree with spt. I think they are very close.
