Books for 70-647

I've ordered the book:
MCITP: Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Administrator Study Guide: (Exam 70-647) by Steven Johnson (Paperback - 2 Jan 2009)
MCITP: Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Administrator Study Guide: Exam 70-647: Amazon.co.uk: Steven Johnson: Books


I'm looking to get a second book, with regards R2 coverage, which of the following would be better:

MCITP Guide to Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Enterprise Administration (exam # 70-647) (Mcts) (Paperback) by Darril Gibson (Author)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1423902394/sr=1-13/qid=1322501507/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1322501507&sr=1-13&seller=


MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit (Exam 70-647): Windows Server Enterprise Administration, 2nd Edition Book/CD Package by David R. Miller, John Policelli, Paul Mancuso and Orin Thomas (Paperback - 5 Jul 2011)
MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit Exam 70-647 : Windows Server Enterprise Administration, 2nd Edition Book/CD Package: Amazon.co.uk: David R. Miller, John Policelli, Paul Mancuso, Orin Thomas, Ian McLean, J.C. Mackin: Books

As a second book I'm tempted to get the Darril Gibson one as I'm not massive fan of the MS Books.
Any thoughts please, in particular book choices you have.

    TechNet alone will suffice, you dont really need any books. Passed my last 6 exams using just that (and a lab of course). The Unleashed book is good however and I recommend it, although a tad dry.
    NSX, NSX, more NSX..
