I say give it a try. It will be an experience, even if it's not the same experience.
I'd say a large part of the difference is mental. With an implant, your body internalizes the sensations, they're part of your body, your "one"-ness. With external sources, you may still feel the sensations, but they're not yours. Your body doesn't feel the fields, it feels an object that feels the fields.

It's hard to explain, and that's the best I got.
