Should You Really

Go for the CISSP if you don't have the 5 years straight info Sec experience ? I've been in IT for 14 years and don't have a pure info sec career but out of the 8 domains I have experience of 5 domains over a 6 year period as part of my roles that I've done so have experience of disaster recovery, crypto etc

I could do the sscp 1st then the Cissp but as I'm self funding maybe it just makes sense to do the Cissp I'm not sure what to do at the minute

Your MCSA provides for 1 year experience waiver so you only need 4 years cumulative experience.
