Create your Mobi from the ePub in the regular way, and just use the split option of MobiUnpack to divide the Mobi7 Mobipocket file from the Mobi8 KF8 file and discard whichever one you don't need.

No need to extract the entire thing, much less recompile after that.

As for the benefits, if the ePub happens to have nicer-than-usual formatting and your Kindle Touch is updated to display the KF8 format, then you can enjoy stuff like drop caps and proper right-hand margins and other things Mobi users don't see.
