However, the Planar Binding line (and, maybe, the Charm Person/Monster line) are the only spells that really benefit from high Cha AFAIK. Are there others?

Going to use magic spells to disguise yourself? That is involves a Disguise check and/or bluff check, so a High Charisma will help.

Also, Use Magic Devices may be a cross-class skill but you can still use it, especailly with a High Charisma.
