Yes.  FIPS meets certain security criteria and could be required in sensitive environments (government work maybe?).

 

...It is also a good bit slower to do a scan, and just doesn't integrate as seamlessly into the chassis, so I have started opting for non-FIPS.  (If I were worried about people with specialized skills lifting prints and trying to fool my fingerprint reader, I wouldn't use fingerprint login to begin with.)
