A lot of it depends on your room dimension.

A Squarish room suggests 7.1 won't be of much benefit, but a longer room (with display on the short wall) with rear surround speakers and side fills might make 7.1 desirable; Provided you have the budget for a 7.1 speaker/amp implementation.
One question I'm curious about is when are the audio processors going to be able deal with 5.1 or 7.1 24/96 PCM, TrueHD, and DTS HD MA audio tracks and 'process' it for optimum audio distribution based on number of speakers available (5.1 or 7.1)? Not to mention dealing with bass management and/or time alignment issues.
