Is MCITP; Virtualization Admin worth it at this point?

So I haven't really been keeping up with the MS flipflop. I didn't even know they were going back to MCSE till about a month ago. I have one more test, the 70-693 for my MCITP: VA cert. Is it worth it at this point. My employer is paying for it so I guess that's a plus. Still I don't like the uncertainty. Do you guys think MS will just convert it over to MCSE: VA?

The Virtualization Admin & EA dont seem to have any space in the new order of things as virtualization is a part of all the solutions.
The only advantage I see as of now of getting MCITP: VA will be the 70-659, this exam will count towards MCSE Private Cloud as well as MCSA 2008
I am working on my 659 as of now and to tell you the truth the material looks quite dated. Either way MCSE Private Cloud will have to be renewed every 3 years so doesnt make much difference next time I can cover System Center 2012
If you have it, it counts as an MCSA: Server 2008. And by taking the 70-659 exam to get your MCITP:VA, that means you only need to take 70-246 to get your MCSE: PC.

One plus point was that the research done while studying for 643 came in handy in the 646 and now 659 exam. 643 has a huge amount of content that is worth a look into like IIS, Cluster & High Availability, VM's. I just wish it was structured a little better.
I am trying for the Private Cloud now but hoping to come back to EA sometime later.
I dont think that MCITP:VA counts as the MCSA requirement for MCSE Private Cloud. I am looking at MS's site and I dont see anything about it. I could be wrong.

+1. You might as well do it for completion as you are only one away.
Besides if you move jobs to somewhere that requires Hyper-V knowledge this will no doubt help with agencies. It took them long enough to recognise MCITP as new MCSE 2003, but now they have to get their heads round the fact we are back to MCSE, so it could take a while and your MCITP:VA may stand out better for the time being. You may think this is a little exaggerated, however once an agency did not put my CV forward for a job because I had MCSE 2003 on there, and the guy told me that his client was looking for an MCP in server 2003
Working on Hyper V 2 feels clunky at best, compared to that VMWare seems to be effortlessly intuitive however, this is not the same with System Center 2012 and Hyper V3. MS has done some pretty decent job on these
Personally I believe with the VMWare/MS war hotting up we may see enterprises going in for System Center 2012 or vSphere 5.1 directly for the ROI
