What Certification next

I want to get into pure network security.
I am currently Studying for my CCNA, and as you can see in my sig I have my MCSE:security. After the CCNA should I got CCSP or would one of Checkpoints certs be more value, I hear they have a larger share of the border security? I want to go from ccna to another cert, more likely the ccsp then go do my LPIC as I love Linux, and there are a lot of companies using it un-aware of security issues.
My background and current work mean I don't work with cisco often, I am a network consultant, mainly deploying snapgears at borders and unmanaged switches internally with Windows Servers and clients.
I want to eventually get into security consulting, from the ground up with some pen testing. So I think having a broad base is good.

So what does everyone think, which has more value, should I do both spaced out with the LPIC or both in a row (I don't really want to do this as I see the LPIC as a break from the CISCO/MS hardline)? I really enjoy studying thats why so many certs are planned (as you can see in the sig) but I am just unsure of which order and what next.
