Receiver worth upgrading?

Hi there everyone. I’m currently trying to decide if I want to upgrade my receiver. My current setup is a 5.1.2. Sony STRDH790, Front L/R KEF Q950, KEF 301C for center, Sony SSCS5 for sides, Sony SSCSE for Atmos and Klipsch R-112SW Reference for sub.

I’m currently happy with my setup. The only reason I’m looking is because I have Best Buy credits I need to spend before the end of the week before they expire.

My room is a rough room for HT. Open back, vaulted ceiling with a fireplace in the middle of it.

Currently looking at Denon S970H ($491), onkyo TX-NR6100 ($484), TX-NR7100 ($804). I know that’s a wide price range. It seems that a lot of people thing paying extra for a better room correction is worth it while a lot says it’s not noticeable so I’m not sure which way to lean. HDMI 2.1 and HDR 10+ is a must. Thanks for the advice in advance
