P3D V4-5 stock aircraft issue?

[Lotharen 287]

I have been watching youtube videos of folks flying in v4 and v5 and the cockpit looks amazing, specifically the gauge panel. However when I play using, say, the Mooney they look horrible. Not near as detailed and rather on the cheap'o side. Is this an issue with the stock aircraft or are they using purchased aircraft? Just curious since I'm trying to decide which direction to go simming wise. I have xplane, P3D v4 and v5 right now so I'm trying to decide if I want to go VR or multiple monitors. In either case, right now they look equally bad on both so I'm just looking for some answers to help narrow my decision. 

Thanks in advance for any help!

They use addon aircraft, as do most of us.

The default Mooney is particularly bad.. The Cub or Commander are somewhat better.

Thanks @Bert Pieke I had a feeling that was the case.  

Would any one have any recommendations on GA aircraft that are well done? I'm fond of the Cessna line, just single engine for the time being. Not sure if I will stick with V5 or not....will depend on my next day or so of testing.

To the OP, as a real-world Cherokee 180 pilot, I can tell you the A2A Cherokee is absolutely outstanding as well.
