293 before 299? (after 291)

I am trying to plan out my test taking after 291, i'm wondering should I go for the 299 to get security specialization for mcsa or would 293 first help me out better with some concepts on 299
i've already taken the official courses for both, but that was almost two years ago
sooo.......
i'm just wondering, should I go for the specialization and get the credential or would doing 293 be more beneficial since it does cover some security? My thoughts were that 299 prep will also prep me for the security topics on 293, but I could be wrong, the main security topics I see on 293 are pki/ca stuff, I don't know, just wondering what you all thought....293 does seem close enough in content that i could move right into that after 291 and build on 293 with the 299....
ahh decisions.....decisions.....

Let it never be said that I didn't do the very least I could do.
I was thinking the other way around, that if I do the implementation first it will be easier to do the design, that's how it seemed in the classes. design was basically application of the things learned through the implementation course.
