I would vote for 7.1 if you would like to use 5.1 and 2 channel in another room or upstairs/downstairs.
The room size and size of your speakers will determin if you can use 7.1
I went 7.1 because it allowed me to use the second set of speakers upstairs. (most formats will be in 5.1 (HDTV etc... to get them to move to 7.1 and above would require a huge investment and throughing out their new stuff. ( remember they are all switching over to 5.1 from 2 channel stereo.) and then to tell them to go to 7.1 !!!!

I can see it happening but not for at least 10 years or more.
I would wait. unless their is something else you want. eg when I switched prologic II and Neo 6 Which is a must have. but if you have it already then I would't upgraded. I would have looked for a used 2 channel for upstairs and ran extra cables for CD)
Just my 2 cents...
