Any "benefit" to the warranty is in the minds of the great masses rushing to visit your site. They want to be sure their credit card won't be stolen, and misused to the total of $50. Frankly, I belong to the school that subscribes to "most users see ssl as an encryption mechanism and not as an identification mechanism". And I don't think the warranty is worth anything to me. If my customers are checking their little locks, then going to the ssl-issuer's website, then checking all the fine print to see which cert the site uses, and what the warranty is, and not shopping from sites that don't have huge warranties, then I guess I'm losing business <smile>.
