Optimal speaker setup for home cinema

I have an Arc soundbar connected to a Sub and 2 Sonos Ones... but I don't know if I should replace the Sonos Ones with two Five speakers that I have in another room to improve the sound experience of the system, or if the Fives would actually be redundant or wasted in that system... and if that's the case, it would be best to buy two Era 300s for that TV room audio system... what do you think?
A. Leave Arc + Sub + 2 Ones
B. Use Arc + Sub + 2 Fives
C. Use Arc + Sub + buy 2 Era 300

If you have the money, go for C. Atmos will ad to your home cinema experience, just using bigger speakers for surround wil not have a big an effect.

I have Play 1 surrounds on my Arc and they never seem over-driven when carrying surround sound. Play 5 for Fives would be lazing along, mostly unused.

I’d say 300s too they are amazing. I even like them better than the 5/Five for music if you can get a fair amount of Atmos content.

100 would work too but you miss out on a lot of the multi-directional sound the 300s offer.
