I'd say it takes a different kind of creativity. One is not necessarily better than the other, they're just different. If you got bored with plain blocks and had to "spice things up" with custom pieces, it means you had plenty of plain blocks at your disposal. That's how I like my Lego sets, too. A large number of plain blocks with a few custom blocks here and there. Not custom blocks galore like some of the newer sets tend to be.
