> Empress trees grow very fast but there is not much of a market for their wood because it is very light.
"Market" for wood is measured in decades, not months. The trees we are harvesting today are the result of a "market" selection made by our fathers and grand-fathers (typically, oak in western Europe).
Saying that Empress trees is out of fashion today because their wood is too light, might be true, but it's not the answer you should be giving. So, either you have the ability to see 40 years into the future, or you simply don't know and don't assume it won't be likeable for the next generation.
