I use the Blue Ripple Harpex upsampler extensively in my installations, in fact it was me that asked Richard Furse if he could license the Harpex library and create this plugin. The benefit is that when I do installations with 16 or more speakers, distributed as two rings near the floor and high up at the wall, and use the Rspture 3D Advanced decoder, I tend to get much more stable sound field reproduction with more precise definition and localisation of sources within B-format field recordings in the space than a FOA would give on its own. I got to try this briefly at BEAST FEAST in April in the venue used for presentations with 24 speakers as I demoed the ATK for Reaper plugins. That was probably the best setup that I have been able to get my hands on to date.
