MCSE 2000 Design Exams

Hi all,
Due to my recent relief of passing 70-216, the time has come to pick
which design exam to use for MCSE 2000. Ive kind of looked at the different
ones for each but still dont have any incline as to which to choose.

I initially though of 221 (Infrastructure) as i would feel more comfortable
on the whole infrastructure rather than working with AD Admin. However ive
read in places this exam is very difficult, does anybody have any thoughts or
ideas on them (having already sat the exams). i.e. given the chance to sit
again would you choose the same exam or pick something different.

Mark.

I've not got that far yet, however I'm hoping to do the 70-220 (designing
security for win2k networks ) exam when the time comes. Security is
something I'm really interested in, and its usefull in my current/future
invironment (especially with MS products). Have you thought about doing this
exam?

The design exams are for Network, Active Directory and Security as u know.
I'm doing security (in a few days) because I think that Its the most
important/benificial in the "real world". I think there is alot more to
learn in the Security design than the others. AD would be easiest if u r
looking at it from a difficult/easy standpoint, which is not a good
standpoint.
