Left center and right center speakers

I am running a 7.3.4 Dolby atmos system.  I have been doing research on dispersion of dedicated center speakers for home theater vs a book shelf or tower speaker to replace the center speaker.  This supposedly helps with dispersion for all seats in the theater.

I am currently doing some upgrades of the front and Surround speakers of the room.  I will have 2 left over bookshelf speakers.  I was going to use one bookshelf as the center and it will match the new incoming full range tower speakers.  Should I just use the one bookshelf in the middle or run a left center and right center speaker set up?  Part of the upgrade is a Trinnov Altitude 16 Processor.  I think it should be said if I am running a Trinnov seperate Amps are given.  So basically a 8.4.4

Before you go for the trinnov get the pro upgrade for the Denon ($200 in msft store) and the calibrated mic they recommend (about $50) my system was night and day different when I upgraded my marantz processor to the pro version of audyssey.

You can use isoacosutic stands to get those speakers off the ground.

For the BEST use of those two left over book shelf channels I would recommend using them as wide channels.
