Having a Daedra heart in a Briarheart would be like how the Numidium was powered by the Heart of Lorkhan.

When Neloth in Solstheim says "It puts their lifespark in direct connection to the natural forces". Instead of having a direct connection to natural forces, they would have a direct connection to the depths of Oblivion, and have the ability to summon extremely powerful Daedra. well, Briarhearts are always such a pale color, maybe the Briarheart keeps them alive without the need to pump blood?

perhaps that's why they use them, maybe Daedra hearts need such prescision to connect the aorta, and with their sharp talons they might damage the Daedra hearts, wheras the Briarhearts are rough and thick they wouldn't need to keep themselves from damaging them?

though as you said, I'd agree that successfully implanting a Daedra heart would be much stronger than a Briarheart.

but what if they could manage to implant a Dragon Heart into a person? would that not be as powerful as a [Daedra/Briar]heart?
