Nope, never seen a situation where I need another one.

If you really want the extra cost and trouble of putting an SFP-T in
the SFP slot, you probably can.  For us, we almost never connect fibre
to our 7301's, so the copper ports come in handy.  The option of
having copper or fibre, but still not having to get SFP's if we just
want to hook up a "normal" cat5 cable is very comfortable.  Cisco,
whatever you do, don't stop doing this. :-)
