A 5.1 is a 6 channel system while the 7.1 is 8 channels. With that said the 7.1 surround provides a slightly better audio quality with greater depth and precision than a standard surround sound (5.1). The 7.1 has a slight sound quality bump but it doesn't justify the higher price tag.

And there's not much 7.1 content either. OP, just get a 5.1 system.
