I would agree with you whole heartedly, but last time I looked (1-2 years ago) when I made mine, there were none that mimic'd the stock setup of having a floating type suspension product. All aftermarket Polyurethane replacements I've seen are with the center Bolt...
Possibly, because poring your own isn't easy, and you have a lot of prep time, and RX-7 Owners are cheap, as indicated by this thread...

Also usually 3rd gen owners are not cheap. Cause, well... You cant be really.

No it's not Turbo'd
just cause things on a 3'rd gen are expensive, doesn't mean that 3'rd Gen Owners aren't cheap... wait 'till you part out a car, and watch the rabble haggle for 80% off retail... 
As far as a difference, I think so, I never had any serious high frequency noise issues inside the car like others with solid or ("Bolt") type motor mounts, but I also would state that I'm biased, and went through the extra effort, and would feel foolish if it was all for nothing.... But logic tells us that a metal on metal (Bolt) type connection would defeat or diminish any "Suspension" properties that a floating suspension would have. Given another 5-10 years I think mazda would have offered this to their racecar (mazdaspeed) customers, but we will never know...

They were about $200 but I understand they were out of production until last summer or fall. Apparently they're available again. A quick google showed this currently on ebay(I have no connection with the seller)......

Noltecs are the exception and do 'float'. IMO all the advantages of stiffer mounts but with no substantial increase in NVH.
