I think the center is more important in that it carries almost all the dialog.... but the question is largely dependent upon whether or not you currently even have surrounds or a center speaker... and how good they are in comparison to the rest of the system!

When you say "rears" are you talking about the side surrounds, or the actual "rear" channels for 7.1? Many people make the mistake of calling the side surrounds "rears".
The center channel can be virtually created using phantom mode from the left/right speakers. So if your saying you have no side surrounds, and this is for a HT upgrade, you might get those and use phantom mode for the center until you can afford one. Otherwise, the center is very important for dialog in movies.

I think you should upgrade the center in that case. You will benefit he most from this upfrade right now.

I agree with Jay. Centers then surrounds. Both will be good, but I think you'll notice the center more originally.
