Here's my basic opinion:
The only advantage that optical has over coax is that optical is not subject to electrical interference. If you think that you system does not sound good...if you hear a weird "hum" or some weird noise, try optical. Otherwise, stick to cheaper coax.
If you really want to experiment, get both. Then blindfold yourself and have a friend switch between the two (without telling you which is on, of course) and see if you can tell the difference. If you truly can't, and most people can't, stick to the cheaper alternative. Just make sure you can return the other one, no questions asked.
