Depends on your user-base.
If all of them know that the only difference is $119, and all of them
inherently trust your web-server and domain name to be correct, there is no
more risk with the free one.
It's a true shame that the general public has been so mis-led and
ill-informed on this issue. While there are a zillion descriptions of how
the keys are exchanged, and how there are certificates here, there, and
everywhere, few bother to explain how this whole "Trust" model really works.
A web-site pays $200, and they are trusted. End of story.
