In basic terms Audyssey and Dirac always get compared because they are comparable.
The big issues are Audyssey comes in different levels + add ons and all in one(loudspeakers & sub(s)/bass).
Dirac separates/divides it by loudspeakers(Dirac Live) and sub(s)/overall bass(Dirac Live Bass Control).
Room correction doesn't "fix" an environment, it just analyzes and gives you guesstimate.
What separates them from the other known RCs in here is the ability to make adjustments to results.
Not everyone is comfortable making those adjustments.
If you just run room correction and leave it, it will be hit and miss on how well they work.
The main issue imo with purchasing for future use(future proof),
Unless it's in the very near future, you can easily find yourself wanting/needing a feature the future proof receiver doesn't have.
You then find yourself buying whole other receiver.
I don't see myself going past 5.1 but don't want to be underpowered without the ability to add an extra amp

Another thing you might consider is buying used.
Since you only need five channels, you can get a much higher level receiver for much much less going that route imo.

Does this TX NR7100 be a better replacement?
Do you think I need to replace?
I want to get this as a starting base AV receiver while my new home is getting finished.
Room is getting wired for 5.1 now but it can be changed.
Use case was to be used for movies / games on a LG C3. Plex output play for steams / shows. And maybe a 4070 ti powered PC.
Will this fit as a good foundation to get me stater as I get better in the audio world?

If you plan to move up to object based soundtracks in the future, I would suggest pre wire for this placement setup: https://www.dolby.com/siteassets/...ounted.pdf
If you mean good foundation in regards to sound quality, I would highly suggest concentrating on speaker(after pre wire) first.
Thee biggest factor when it comes to sound quality imo.
Another significant factor that often gets overlooked is room environment.
A well treated(even semi) room/environment is significant with sound quality imo.
If you just need a receiver for 5.1 system to hold you over, I would highly suggest just buying a used one that has the features you need.
Will cost much less than this and likely a higher tier model to boot.
My 2 cents, hope it helps & good luck.
