While we're on the subject and have decided the fossilized walrus is twice the price of regular old bone does anyone have experience with both to say that the walrus (or other more expensive materials) is a doubly superior in tone?

I wasn't thinking in terms of twice the price= double the superiority in tone. 

I was thinking could I afford the saddle that Colosi's website described as fitting to what I want soundwise (the elephant looked interesting too but I have an ethical problem with buying those). Colosi says something about the  FWI material being a lot harder and well-suited for fingerstyle. The difference of 20 bucks was worth the trial. If I wasn't so lazy I would have gotten one of cow bone and the FWI and gone back and forth, cos the money wasn't that big of a deal. 

And besides, the FWI will probably last longer because of its hardness.

It's hard to fit tone into mathmatical equations. I've only had one guitar with a FWI saddle, I can't remember if there was a big difference or not.

I have a Seagull into which I had a Colisi Bone saddle installed. I also have an L03R into which I installed a Colisi FWI saddle. Both insturments were greatly improved, however I was more impressed with the FWI saddle. It is not "twice as good", but the difference was enough that I will choose FWI over bone at twice the price if avalible next time.
