I thought that the reason you paid for certificates wasn't really anything to do with the cert, but more to do with the indemnity insurance that the issuer is offering if the cert gets cracked and your SSL connections reveal info to someone sniffing the packets... Could it happen? Theoretically, Yes... Is it likely? Probably not....
This to me is the major difference between all of the cert providers, after all, the cert itself is just a text file to install on your server and they all offer 128/256 bit certs with 1024 bit keys etc... So their only differential is the amount they charge and the amount of insurance they offer... I don't see any insurance being offered on the cacert site and, in the unlikely event that an SSL communication was intercepted and hacked I would be pretty grateful for the SSL insurance that the commercial providers give when the credit card owner/company comes knocking on my door...
