It depends on how well Benz can play the striker role, we need a Drogba type player or a Dzeko type, we haven't had a propper front paring since Trez was regularly starting.
Amauri and Iaq should never be starting for this club, I'd take the 2 if Benz could play in such a role other wise we'd have 4 SS, which is overkill.

He's not really anything special in the air. Neither is Cassano. In a 4-4-2 you need a player who's good in the air, a six yard box killer like Trez as well as a support striker who can go in deep, create for his partner and score goals. We saw what happened when we had no presence in that area playing Quag-DP. Crosses came into the box in vein.
Benzema is what you call a power forward, he is no limited poacher/big of who hangs in the box and heads/pokes in balls, but he is DEFENITELY box player, just because he has varied qualities like speed, dribbling, technique doesnt mean he is too similar to Cassano 
Its like saying Henry is too similar to Cassano (and Benzema is more of a striker then Henry was).
Rest assured, the Benz HAS presence in the box.
