While there is not really much in the way of true 7.1 material that doesnt mean you wont benefit from added speakers in a suitable space. The processor will create the sound routing to the 6 and 7 speakers and give a more emersive surround experience.
If you sit 5 or more feet from rear wall and place middle surrounds at your seating area the added channels will IMO be worth the expense, in wall speakers will often allow aiming of atleast the tweeter towards you if you choose.
I think based on rooms that can handle it 7.1 is a definite improvement and makes for more enjoyment.
