3 reasons.

1: Yes, as a backup.

2: Read/Write times.

3: Less stuff to carry to location shoots as my MacBook has an internal SD slot which also takes us back to #2 since the SD is way faster than a USB CF reader.

It's happened to me 3 times. Only takes once to justify it. Plus, lets face it, I've killed a number of cameras over the years. My last 5D repair cost me around $700 and I'm sure my Mark II is due for a new shutter box assembly. It's just time to buy a new camera anyway.
