Outside of the obvious, ie that winning a division gives you a guaranteed home game in the playoffs and is the easier ticket to the Super Bowl vs. a wild card entry, what does it mean to you to win a divisional title? What amount of pride and satisfaction do you derive from winning the NFC West?

It's all part of a legacy of success a franchise wants to build. In a league with so much parity, winning any division isn't a cakewalk.
It has to be earned and consecutive titles or lots of them over an extended period of time is a testament to the organization of people who's hard work and dedication paid off.

No, but it does mean a home game...

We were beat up most of the year but we did what we had to do to win the division, then in the face of all the 'teams with losing records shouldn't be in the playoffs" shouting going on we proved our worth as a playoff team by knocking the defending Super Bowl Champs out of the playoffs to advance!
If you advance in the playoffs, particularly if you did so by knocking off the defending champs you belonged in the playoffs!
I hope that banner hangs forever!
