How is only the center channel vital to the vocals? A great vocal mix in a stereo-like fashion can be just as effective as a separate center IMO, even on a quad mix.
Most quad mixes are not mixed with with the vocals front and center. Some people have a preference for 5.1 mixes over quad because many of them do have the vocals up front and in the center. I prefer a mix, quad or 5.1, that isn't front heavy with music and vocals, I want my rears to be "balanced" with the fronts musically, that is most important to me, not the vocals.
I can only name one quad mix off the top of my head, that the vocals are mixed into the fronts, where they are COMPLETELY front and center to the entire 4.0 mix, and that is the album "Sundown."
