Yes. If you're trying to get all the performance you can out of an A/D -- that's tricky business. Far easier to use a faster A/D with a simpler front-end filter. Getting really high-performance A/D subsystems is... not trivial. There is a reason 'standard' Industrial systems are usually 12 bits. The other issue is of course: what's the unwanted noise on the input signal? If that is not controlled, you'll be wasting some of your LSBs to noise anyway.
