Doubt regarding Sec+

[kota_44 () yahoo com]

HI All ,
 
I have a question regarding Security + exam .
I have a about an years experiance on working on Application Security and now to widen my security knowledge base and 
also to get some relevant Security related certification under my belt
 I had a doubt of what to start of with so the first exam which many suggested is Sec+ but a large no of others gave a 
feed back that this one
 aint having a good value now and not worth the Time and effort and better to start of with something like CEH .
But other suggested this as a good base for CISSP .
 So could you all who probably are familarized or taken Sec + can update me with pros/cons or why one should/ should 
not take it and its current value and what can be a good alternative to start off if not Sec + . 
Feed Back Appriciated
