I suppose I should say that it depends on what you want.
For me the main values of SFWA are 1) being in the Directory, 2) having access to the forums, and 3) being able to say I'm an active member of SFWA, 4) eligible for the Nebulas...(You get 1 and 2 with only 2 sales.)
I've only been a member since 2007, and so far I haven't noticed a editor-attracting halo, nor do I have instant reconition anywhere. We need pins, or something, to wear to cons ;o)
Please note that it's worth it to me. I'll probably stay a member for the near future. THere have been a lot of changes in the last couple of years that I hope will soon make the organization more helpful to us all.
