For movies I think it is a must, and as long as it reproduces voices similarly enough to the fronts it is ok...

For music I don´t think you really need one, although I find that for discs with center channel info it is better than phantom, for DPLII I don´t use it at all...

I also found out that in DTS and DD 5.1 discs, the center carries a lot more than voices, many times drums and so on, so there you need it to be "the same" as the fronts, or you loose dynamics...
