HI,
Good question. But the answer is: what is your goal?
A certification sounds good in a resume indeed, but the most important thing is that you will learn something.
I know, you will say: I can learn without to have an exam. I would answer is not so. Exams will keep you focused.
As about having knowledge (certifications if you want) in these 2 NOS areas, it can be just good. I started with Novell (CNE) now, MCSE2k. ANd I can tell you that the information that I aquired made me to see from a different point of view these products. And it will also help you to be less subjective.
So, just to it. I invested (everything from my wallet) and I was doing these just for me, keeping me in the group of professionals. And of course, thinking about a better future.
Success! Gia Betiu
