I generally agree, but that's about speaker qualities like tone and timber. Simply adding more speakers is a difference that's easy to spot no matter how un snob-ish you might be. Speakers overhead give a different sound stage than just the typical wall mounted speakers or at least that's the theory of Atmos.
