Acer buergerianum 'Miyasama kaede yatsubusa' or 'Miyasama yatsubusa'

So I started training on a bonsai pot, but not really concentrating on any specific direction. I have managed to Air Layer a tall branch off of this mother tree (on the pot), which is over 6 feet tall now and another one (on the ground) with larger leaves grown from a cutting (out of many, one survived that became this over time). I attribute the larger leaves off of the field grown ones to extra nutrition of course.

Here's a nifty idea I had the other day. Has anyone tried grafting this subspecies to a normal trident maple? Assuming it would take, I'm curious if it would become more vigorous.
