I'm currently studying for both. I've heard different stories from different people. From the material I've studied so far it looks as if the 70-642 is easier. It may differ for you though.
I'm only 40% through the MS Press book and already scoring 60-70% on full practice tests. I'm at the review stage for 70-640 and scoring about the same on the practice tests. I'm using the measure up tests included with the book and the measure up included with the exam cram book, both of them have been recommended highly by sveral people who have taken the test.
You need to do the work, you're eventually going to have to take both. Just dive in and take the 70-640.
You should do the client test first so as to familiarize yourself with "the microsoft way" of the tests. If you're looking for the easier of the client system tests I took the Vista Configuration and it wasn't too hard. I've heard the Windows 7 test was a real bear.
