Should I take upgrade or take the new exam?

I have done SCJP 1.4 awhile ago, and I am thinking to move on to 1.6.

As I knew, I have two choices,
* one 6.0 exam
or
* 1.4 to 5.0 upgrade and 5.0 to 6.0 upgrade

I am just wondering is there any pros and cons to go one way but the other.
The other reason I wanna take it is to refresh my java, which I haven't touch for awhile.

I am thinking to take 1.4 to 5.0 upgrade first, and try the SCJD exam, but I would like to know what other people think.

Thanks in advance

You can take the Java 6 upgrade exam (one exam) since you already have the 1.4 certification. No need to take the Java 5 upgrade then the Java 6 upgrade.
