Dave in perfect world yes the more Gauss you'll get the more output cartridge will generate with less turns of wire into the coil.
Although do you know the reason why in this case it's disc shaped if  neodymium so prefect?

Neodymium isn't a superior one - it's just the strongest one.

"Platinum magnet" is marketing vague terminology. It should be cobalt-platinum.

All of them are have different magnetic properties. So if engineer is good one he can use advantages and mask disadvantages.
IMO if you know what are you doing you will get desired result.
