On the Soldarin calculator..it lists the two demonic traits as +1. The saint template..in the BOED, gives simliar traits..but is more powerful..and is a reduced LA of +2(due to outside factors). Would you agree, that it would be worth at +1 in a game for a character above level 10?

Traits: An angel possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry). —Darkvision out to 60 feet and low-light vision. —Immunity to acid, cold, and petrification. —Resistance to electricity 10 and fire 10. — +4 racial bonus on saves against poison. —Protective Aura (Su): Against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures, this ability provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws to anyone within 20 feet of the angel. Otherwise, it functions as a magic circle against evil effect and a lesser globe of invulnerability, both with a radius of 20 feet (caster level equals angel’s HD). (The defensive benefits from the circle are not included in an angel’s statistics block.) —Tongues (Su): All angels can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level equal to angel’s Hit Dice). This ability is always active. The immunities and resistances are worth +1 in their own right. Add on top of that the protective aura and tongues and you are looking at +2 or +3. For characters higher than 10th level, +2 would probably be better, since a lot of the bonuses will not stack with equipment.
