plus replacing with a better quality speaker is a good idea when you upgrade the fronts as you will be pushing the system more due to the upgraded amp in the front.
As you said though, you need to make sure you actually "upgrade" the speaker ,not just replace them with something similar.
they'd still be more efficient if it was an upgrade, which means more db/watt - and the clarity will make your ears listen to it more, you tend to tune out undesirable sounds unless you look for them - plus that the front's will be amped, they'll be running WAY more power than the rear regardless, that's true.

for pure sound quality, most people actually straight up remove the rear speakers, unless they carry lots of passengers. even then, a solid system plays loud enough you can hardly tell the difference.
