A better question might be how many who have 7.1 are going back to 5.1?
Depending on how well your receiver does 5.1-7.1 matrixing, IMO 7.1 is far more entertaining by creating a larger surround with more discrete rear channels.
Room size is not an issue.
You'll get the best success by using matched speakers, no dipoles.
