Of course there is a difference, since, while all physical matter was marred, not all and everybody was marred to the same degree. Unlike relatively pure Quendi, Bombadil would in this theory have to incorporate all the other stuff as well.
I did not say a representation of Eä would have to be all that, but Eä itself. The representation idea is not explaining anything anyway.
Of course we are not discussing the significance of Bombadil on any level, literary or mythological. No matter what or who he is, it is bound to be a wholly different question, one I am not remotely interest in, what that means.
