But lets say that I want to have more information, more inventions, even, in the final patent. Am I limited at all by the corresponding provisional patent or is it irrelevant?

As far as I understand, your provisional patent will come into play only if a priority issue arises. For example, someone files a related patent after your provisional but before your full application. That's the way my lawyer explained it to me.
