Since you will not be using surrounds, I don't think there's any benefit to using a center channel. What sound mode would you use from the receiver with a 3.1 system? If you try using a surround mode that has center channel information, I assume you would loose part of the audio information to the non-existing surrounds. I'd just watch movies and shows in stereo mode, and let the m3's do it all, use the extra money to furnish the new place.
