I think its more important for the body parts that are there to move correctly than to have them visible and not match.

A laser-hatchet hand and a disembodied floating mecha-claw that respond snappily are ultimately more real than a "realistic" arm that moves like a cartoon.

BTW. I recall an experiment that found that to get someone to associate a virtual hand with their real one, the researchers had to prick the real hand at the same time as the person see the virtual hand getting a prick.

By the same token, if you want someone to associate a virtual elbow with their real elbow, you'd better not be having it do stuff your real elbow isn't doing. Better off just not having the elbow.
