I experimented on my Martin D16R by replacing the saddle with a Colosi bone saddle. I was trying to lessen the brightness of the sound. I'm going to put the old saddle back in to compare.
I wouldn't day that the sound is "better" with the bone saddle, just different. If Martin felt a bone saddle sounded "better", the extra $10 for the bone saddle wouldn't stop them.
It's all in what sound you're looking for.
