5.1.2 Atmos

I was planning on using the  4 ceiling speaker that I have now for Atmos. If I wanted 5.1.4 it would cost a lot of money in labor to move the front ceiling speakers to their proper position. At least $1500 to do it right so my wife wouldn't complain about the ceiling looking like it has had work done to it.
If I just go 5.1.2 would it be a big downgrade from 5.1.4? My dealer told me that 2 speakers would still sound really good just not as good as 4 speaker Atmos. Would you guys do a 2 speaker Atmos or just spend the $1500. I'm not wealthy but I want to have a good sounding Home Theater system. 
Thanks,
Bob

I just read the article on Auto-3D. Sounds interesting. If I have two speakers for Atmos installed I will have 3 unused front ceiling speakers, so I think it will be possible.
I have a fan in the closet that vents to the attic. I will ask if that is enough.
No plans to ever sell but eventually our children might sell
