If you are considering taking the CISSP exam at a later date, it would be better you take the BSCI exam. It was added when Cisco added the new set of CQS exams. The BSCI is more wide and extensive than the 640-503 exam.
However, if you do not want to cover the additional materials, then go for the 640-503, but when you want to write the CISSP exam tomorrow, you must write the BSCI (640-900) exam despite the fact that you have taken the 640-503 exam before. Writing the 640-900 exam, fullfils two exam requirements(CCNP track) and CISSP track but the 640-504 only count towards your CCNP. Think of the time you would have saved, the additional knowledge, the $125, etc when you take the 640-900 instead of the 640-504 exam. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/10/wwtraining/certprog/testing/current_exam s/640-900.html Enjoy.
