Center channel or 5 *identical* speakers best for HT?

I'm thinking about getting into home theater and I'm a little curious about the sound difference I will get if I use a dedicated center channel compared to using 5 identical bookshelf speakers? The bookshelf speakers each contain a single 5.25" woofer, whereas the center has two. I know most of the dialogue comes from the center so I don't want to slight that part, I'm just interested in finding out if I should abide by true Dolby Digital protocols (5 identical speakers...but ideally full-range which these are not) or get a dedicated center channel that has two woofers which I assume would make it a bit more efficient? Anyone have experience either way? Thanks in advance and sorry if my question is a bit vague at times, I'm not exactly sure how to ask this question.
