I don't think women's ordination is a big deal because I don't think ordination itself is a big deal.
Not that I think you're wrong for loving the idea of the Apostolic Succession; there's something comforting and awesome in the chain of history in it. But I feel that it's wrong to declare that ministers can ONLY be chosen that way; it's like telling God what He can and cannot do. God and the Spirit can do what they darn well please, which includes calling people who aren't part of the Apostolic Succession.

Does that make my position clearer?
