I believe, what makes the major difference are the vehicles. Look at unofficial mp for GTA V, every single server uses "real" vehicles, there is no chance to find server with default vehicles. That's annoying. But the current DL in SA-MP features only skins and object models (luckily, I think), that can't be used to make completely different game. Looking at the large SA-MP servers, they really adopted the DL reasonably.
