MCITP or CCENT For Second Certification

Hi, I just got my first certification today, MCTS Windows 7 Configuration (70-680). I was wondering if it worth trying to get the MCITP before it gets retired in January or go for my first Cisco certification first? If I go the MCITP route would I get both a MCITP and MCSA? Also if I go the MCITP should I got for the Technician certification (70-685) or the administrator (70-686)?
Thanks in Advance!

Besides, if you were to go the CCENT, you'd have to decide between the new and the old CCENT, which may or may not give you a very rushed deadline to complete the exam.
Either way, congrats on the pass!! That's a great 1st cert to get!

Go for 70-685 if you work on the help desk. Or go for 70-686 if you do desktop deployments.
Just so you know Todd Lammle author of one of the CCNA books out there thinks the new CCENT is harder than the old CCNA so Cisco could be getting harder to get in to in future. But it would be a bit late to start the old CCENT/CCNA at this stage - the deadline is Sept 30th. The new Lammle book is nearly out for the new CCENT BTW.
Do either 685/686 then CCENT/CCNA and you are golden!
EDIT - Taking 70-685 or 70-686 will give you MCSA:Windows 7

Don't think so, unless it's an employer that doesn't follow the certs all too well. But it would almost def help you get past HR/Recruiter screenings.
