Both (assuming W+ will be) are life long certs... so you do the maths which is worth more if you in the wireless field considering the CWNA is the next wireless cert up from Wireless#

Regardless of the price of a cert, it also boils down to the choice of the individual.
You're currently doing a BSc full-time, I believe. Why don't you do it part-time? It's cheaper. Why a BSc, why not the BA version of the course?
Also, take it from the point of different companies/individuals. The majority of people in IT have heard of Comptia and CWNA, but CWNA are relatively the "new kids on the block" compared to Comptia. If the majority of companies can't/won't keep up to date with new certs from 1 vendor (eg Microsoft), what would make a company keep up to date with new vendors/test providers.
I'm not here to back Comptia with their pricing and neither am I here to bash CWNA, as both companies are high in my estimation.
Oh by the way the CWNA is only valid for 3 years, only the Wireless# is valid for life.
