Do you find that your mains and center channel need a sub with a 5.1 setup?

I'm considering building a crossover and sub setup for my center
channel. I was wondering if you all feel that your center channel
is getting enough full spectrum audio to bother doing this? The
hardware isn't too expensive, and I build my own boxes...but if
only one disk out of 20 has any sub audio in the center channel,
it obvously wouldn't warrent a sub.
I've already got a kick ass folded horn on the sub channel of my 5.1
setup, but I was just trying to help get the fullness of the true
movie theater experience. You know behind those big screens are a stack
of speakers that would make Van Halen proud...including the center
channel...so why not do the same at home?
Am I going overboard here?
