Is 70-285 a must after 70-284 or is Microsoft sucking money?

Hi,
If you pass 70-284 (I failed not long ago with 662 and 2nd attempt is coming up July 29th) do you really need to have the design exam 70-285 also? I've been reading posts both here and on other places that 70-284 and 70-285 are very "the same". I intend to learn more about exchange after 70-284 but it might be better to go for "70-236 Exchange Server 2007"?
I'd rather read a extra book about Exchange Server 2003 after passing 70-284 than spending a fortune on a certification not really needed. It would be different if my employer paid all but I'm not that lucky.
Please give your opinion

That combination will earn you the Messaging specialization when you wrap up your MCSE though. Since the study material is the same, it seems like it would be advantageous to go for it. You're by no means required to though.

THANKS...and when you put it that way it's a shame not to take it since it will be pretty easy with the 70-284 stuff covered. I try 70-285 early august close after 70-284.
