That's really interesting stuff. Thank you. Sounds like short version is regardless of whether I spend the money for Atmos or not, losing my on wall QS8 surrounds in favor of only having in ceiling surrounds is not the best choice. Better to figure out a way to create the space on the walls for the surrounds and decide if I want to further upgrade for the Atmos. Appreciate this insight. Very helpful.

It all matters.....just not that much.
