Is  there any (functional) difference between these two statements?

-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT 

-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT

-Then why might one be inclined to use the '-m tcp' in a situation like
this?  Clarity?

-Under what circumstances might '-m tcp' give added value?

One does not need it. Once you've specified -p tcp, iptables deduce
automagically you're working with tcp match and then loads it.
