Security + SY0-301 or SY0-401

I'm considering getting the security + certification. I already acquired the a+ and the network + and I'm looking to switch careers. Should I just skip the sec+ and move on to the Microsoft stuff? What are employers looking for in an entry level position?

If I do go for the security plus is the 301 easier or is it outdated and should be avoided? Seems there's a lot more training material available for 301 as well and quite a few folks on this board are doing the 301

    I did 301 mainly because I had A LOT of study material already for 301. If I hadn't, I would have went with the 401. Professor Messer does have videos for the 401 however, although I haven't checked them out yet.

    I just passed the 401 exam reading nothing but CompTIA® Security+™ Study Guide Sixth Edition from cybex and McGraw hills 401 practice question book.
