You already have a stern thruster... a main engine. :-) You can do anything 
a twin screw vessel can with a single ME and bow thruster. It's just a 
matter of learning how to use that main engine to kick the stern over, using 
the rudder hard over. For some good instructions on doing this, check out 
the FAQ's at: http://www.his.com/~vann/KrgStuff/Krognidx.htm The bow 
thruster is really nice, but I wouldn't see enough benefit to spend the $$ 
on an additional stern thruster.
