The primary reason maples are grafted is to preserve the species characteristics, which in this case, is red maple foliage. Many of the dissectum varieties, for example, can't be grown from cuttings with commercial success.

You might want to drop Brent Walston (Evergreen Gardenworks) an email or PM about this to get his comments.

Regards,

Matt
