MCSA 2012 - upgrade or separate exams?

For those who have the Mcsa 2008, are you going for the 70-417 exam or the separate exam route.
I've got the ms press 70-417 and the 70-410 books.
Studying the 3 exams is a lot of topics to learn.
Just wondering which route you have chosen.
My current thoughts are to take my time and go for the 417.

However, I still had to go over 70-649 material when I took 70-647 (which I failed 4 times). So while I think the upgrade exam may be similar in easiness I don't think it does your long term knowledge any good.
That's why I have decided to go the long way around this time, I have the Exam Ref, the Training Guide and the Sybex book as well as TechNet and I'll be getting CBT Nuggets & Train Signal. I'm probably over-compensating now but I'm going the 410 411 412 route and then I'll decide if I go on to 413+414 and/or 341+342.

If I had to do it over, I'd probably do the 3 exams seperately.
