In your experience, does 4 in-ceiling speakers make the experience good enough to pursue this configuration? Going from 7.2 to 9.2 could be ~$1000 jump just for the receiver from what I see in the marketplace. Thanks!

Is seating off the back wall? You need about a 30 to 55 degree angle from speaker to seating position (45 is ideal), so if you have a 8' ceiling, ear height is typically 42 inches, here is the calculation:
96"-42"= 54" from center of speaker to ceiling location directly above your ear (NOTE - not the angle measurement directly from ear to the speaker at a 45 degree angle)
So you will need a minimum of 54" behind your seating position to place your speaker on the ceiling.
So if your room works for it, I would consider going for it. All the clients I have put in the Atmos system have been blown away by the sound. But as I have said before in other posts value is subjective to the buyer.
