Extended pieces on .45. Really worth it?

I recently had the pleasure of shooting several .45's including my own Colt Mark IV 70 series, a Springfield, and some others. One of the bunch had an extended slide release, extended magazine release, and the extended beaver-tail grip. These are billed as "up-grades" by many companies. To be frank, they made no difference to me. I have never had the hammer bite the webbing of my hand, I thought the extended slide releases stuck out too far, and didn't care for the extended magazine release either. I like the plain simplicity of my Colt. Am I missing something?

...Unless the gun comes factory with the "extended" this or that, I don't/won't add it...and I won't carry a cluttered up gun that does have all that crap on it...[;)]
Other than installing proven accuracy mods it's foolhardy to try and guild the lilly.
