Bottom line IMHO. If your room is very large you will benefit from the extra surround channels. If your room is average to small, don't waste your time or money. My home theater is 20x18. I run 5.1 and it totally rocks. My receiver is capable of a 6th channel, but I see no need.
Hint, don't try to get bass from your mains. Set them to small and let your subwoofer handle things below 100hz. A good sub will make your system sound complete. Large sub doesn't mean good sub.
If you want to improve your sound, buy Avia or Video Essentials and calibrate what you already own. With a Radio Shack sound pressure meter, a simple system can sound very good when calibrated.
