Which one you select depends on which one interests you & whether you want to pay for/take two exams or one & whether you would need/want to use the MCDST credential to get an interim job. I'd venture to say that the MCDST is more valuable to more employers than the MCTS Vista Configuration. EDIT: by the way, almost forgot - congrats!!
