If I'm doing incline bench presses (inclined by only a few degrees) do I
need to do shoulder presses or are my shoulders getting enough work
already?

I'm working out mainly for strength and am doing the following full-body
routine (I do squats and DLs the same day but rotate them everyother
day):

Squat
Deadlift
Incline Bench
(I may add dips soon)
Shoulder Press
DB Row
Cable Lat. Pulldown (doing this until I can do chins)

I do a similar routine. I figure the SP is sufficiently different from the
BP to be worth it--particularly for side delts.

I think it might be the other way - the shoulder press is more
well-rounded exercise of the two; you could drop the bench press and
just work the shoulder press as far as shoulder strength is concerned,
but you should do something other than just bench.
