I have SP1a on a XP2 and SP2 on Vista32 and there is no difference between these versions when looking at Lake Hood with all sliders 3/4 to max'ed position.
The water color is a slightly deeper blue (mid 2.x) on the SP2 but that could be the difference in the 25" sony monitors + video cards that are running on each computer.
There are airports that have been enhanced in SP2 but Lake Hood is not one of them.
Both FSX versions are running in DX9 mode. You gain some scenery enhancement (bloom, airport lighting) in DX10 mode but lose other standard features such as AI Plane textures, default plane wing lighting, progressive taxi, to name a few and is not worth DX10 yet for me.
