Default HD audio vs Dolby/DTS 5.1

Problem
I have a basic 2.0 sound connected to my blu ray player and full HD LCD.
I am in Australia and HDMI receivers are way too expensive down here. A $300 US HDMI capable receiver (not pass thorugh/repeater) costs around $700aus here when the dollar conversion would actually be $350Aus... go figure

I have a PS3 so my only other option realistically is to take a tech step backwards for a decent 5.1 dolby/DTS receiver and send audio through a Optical cable (bitstream).

Question
My question is how much of a sound difference is Dolby/DTS compared to the new uncompressed HD formats?
Is it honostly a massive leap in quality ?

Thx in advance
Shazz
