How important is FIPS 140-2 Level 1 cert?

["Saqib Ali" <docbook.xml () gmail com>]

Hello All,

I would like to know how much weight people usually give to the FIPS
140-2 Level 1 certification.

If two products have exactly same feature set, but one is FIPS 140-2
Level 1 certified but cost twice. Would you go for it, considering the
Level 1 is the lowest.
