Just went to 9.2 from 7.1 and so far like it, but as most will tell you, the heights are only used in certain circumstances, not like there "on" all the time, IMO the difference between 5.1 & 7.1 is far greater and more noticeable than the difference between 7.1 & 9.1. Don't know if this helps or not.
I would go for either rears or heights or both. Personally I just don't see the advantage of wides in a home environment ever having better results than the other 2 options, well unless you have a ridiculously large room.
