Adding more channels is not necessarily better upgrading to better gear will make more of an improvement then adding more channels
The clarity and Dynamicsof a system are as much a part of the electronics as is the loudspeakers
So it comes down to what you are looking to do
In our 30 years doing this most of our theaters are still 5.1 which accommodate most rooms the addition of atmos channels is a small but decent upgrade 7.1 or more depends on room Size and seating positions
