I believe I've finally figured out the true difference between the Bus Object and Aux Object 
(aside from a Bus Object lacking Sends, Input selection, and the ability to work with the 
output from of a Multi Channel plugin that is used in an Instrument Object). The answer is 
related in concept to the fader "pre" or "post" idea but it is not the same thing.

The Bus Object is a "serial" object and when used the entire signal of the Bus Channel goes 
into the Bus Object and then a copy of the output signal is then rerouted back into the Bus 
Channel regardless of where the Bus Object output signal is then sent.

The Aux Object is a "parallel" object and splits the Bus Channel signal. One part of the 
signal goes into the Aux Object but the other part keeps going down the Bus Channel 
undisturbed.

This is the not-so-obvious difference between the Bus Object and Aux Object and the 
reason why we have both types to choose from.
