Its all part of the fun. Animists can keep finding new spirits, theists have new aspects and sub-cults to join, and new sub-cults. Its all the same.
Access to new abilities is nice, but not a big deal. Its not going to make your character unbalancingly better than anybody. Having a higher, or lower, ability rating DOES make a difference.

A few have more, but tend to be of a general cultural (rather than adventure) oriented nature. Most seem to have 6-8 spells.
The number of spells in a Grimoire is a set limit, though, and you can just keep on making up affinities for ever.
