Does anyone have any good answer what kind of difference there is between

  • using some arbitrary pre-formatted Excel 2007 *.xlsx file as a template, loading it in my C# app, and filling up some of its cells with data using the Microsoft OpenXML SDK

versus

  • creating specific Excel templates (*.xltx) files and using those as basis for my "data filling" exercise

Do I loose something when I don't use the Excel templates (*.xltx)? If so - what do I loose?
