You know its funny. These conversations are about as fruitful as kicking a dead horse. The CCIP is geared more towards the same arena as Junipers certs, Lucent's certs, and certainly some of Nortels certs. The R/S CCIE is an ENTERPRISE, lets say it again kids, ENTERPRISE centric certification. You are endeavoring to make the assertion that apples are the same as oranges when in fact they are not, and really share little in the way of commonalities.

But if it doesnot require a hands on lab then it is just a few months away from turning into a paper cert. Perhaps you haven't looked at CCIE R/S closely but it does have Multicast on it and you can be sure you will be tested on it. But anyways I will stick to first comment without a vigrous lab it's worth will decrease with time as cramsites catch on to the test questions.
