64-bit app via the Chen version

I finally I downloaded the VFPA runtime files and am going to use that IDE and develop/deploy with this "VFP 10" version since many here have spoken of it without much negativity.

Question:  what would be the benefit of using the 64-bit version IF I'M NOT USING DBFS (because in my MBSS apps, I use MariaDB/MySQL as the backend, not VFP).  I just don't see the benefit other than for marketing my apps to say "they're 64-bit using the VC++ 10 runtimes."
