Benefits of x87 over SSE

Viewed 8575

I know that x87 has higher internal precision, which is probably the biggest difference that people see between it and SSE operations. But I have to wonder, is there any other benefit to using x87? I have a habit of typing -mfpmath=sse automatically in any project, and I wonder if I'm missing anything else that the x87 FPU offers.
