RE: Very basic question: we have a vintage 2-channel system in our

Very satisfying when playing the kinds of movies that are geared to surround effects. If you don't watch that kind of movie as a rule, a good two-channel system can be plenty satisfying, I have found. For older movies, the multi-channel mix is sometimes more annoying than it is revealing, since there is very little one can do with dialogue and an occasional song to make it surround you.

If you watch a lot of newer, action-oriented movies, then an MC system can't be beat. But if I already had a system in place, I wouldn't buy all the additional equipment just to hear great surround on a few movies, unless I spent a lot of time showing off my system to visitors.
