I'd say it's a bit easier, with less core material. I mean, all of
Java, vs. just the web based bit, means the web exam is a little bit less to concentrate on. Plus, if you've got SCJP, which you need, then you won't be struggling with the Java part, and you can just concentrate on the concepts, as opposed to the syntax.
It's a very well respected cert to have.
