Dolby Atmos worth it?

I've been contemplating an upgrade to my home audio setup for a while now. I just have a Bose soundbar (purchased 4 years ago) attached to a TV. So I don't mind spending a bit of money on a good home theater system that I can use for several years.
I've been looking at the Sonos 5.1 system with their soundbar + sub-woofer + 2 speakers.
But I was wondering if it's better to wait for a few months and get a Dolby Atmos-compatible system once there are more of them on the market. Right now there are Atmos-compatible systems from LG, Samsung, etc. But Sonos and Bose will maybe (?) shift in that direction soon.
Thoughts?

You could always do a conventional sound system and add a Sonos component so you can stream music to it. While Sonos speakers sound really good, you can get better speakers for about the same price.
- What about listening to music on the Atmos system?
- What sound system do you have / would you recommend?
I went big with my setup because I wanted a theater like setup. I have an Anthem receiver, a 4k Apple TV, and Klipsch 7.1 surround package. I'd recommend it, but Anthems are up there in price.
Denon and Onkyo make great receivers in the $450-$600 range that decode Atmos and do great surround.
