coastlines alternative?

Hi all,

 

Currently debating if I should get FTX Vector or not. I generally do IFR commercial airliners flights, so I don't do VFR. The road textures of ORBX Vector that I have seen do not impress me, and actually break immersion in most of the screenshots I've seen. Also, I don't like the elevation problems that may create. The only reason I am considering Vector is the accurate coastlines, that can make a difference over the default.

 

My question is, if there is any other product that can provide accurate coastlines instead of ORBX Vector?

 

Thank you very much for your time.
