I think people can safely say what's on their minds on this forum and 99% of people will understand that posts about subjective qualities are, almost by definition, opinions. I don't need caveats on every post that say:
"Warning, the following is an opinion," as I think it's fairly obvious - even to the layperson - when that is happening. Nor do I appreciate or enjoy having posts "policed" by "authorities" on subjective qualities. Everyone here should be able to make statements about their opinions, particularly as they relate to the alchemy of tone wood, without having their credibility brought into question.
As for the original question, I would not use that piece of mahogany for a build as I'm generally pretty ambivalent about quilted mahogany, and I don't envision a creative use of the ebony plugs on the middle of every piece.
