Yeah. I've encountered the downsides as well. Stock X-Plane has no Salt Lake City at all. Gorgeous scenery, and all the rivers and roads, but not one building. MisterX has created a stunning version of Salt Lake Airport, complete with moving cars and commuter trains. It also adds some of the downtown buildings, but most of the Salt Lake Valley with its 14 cities and one million inhabitants is still missing.
Stock FSX, on the other hand, has some buildings. It also has SL Airport No. 2, which I like. Pacific Island Simulations has created a complete redo of the whole valley for FSX and P3D v3, and I bought it and love it. They also make a version for P3D v4, but if I get that version of Prepar3d I'll have to also buy the other version of SLC. I'll probably get P3d v3 and the 32-bit graphics, and to be honest I probably won't notice the difference.
