Regardless, it's not as if CCNP study would be a waste of time. Just take the CCNP and consider it part of your CCIE study. Unless you could pass the 4 CCNP tests without studying, then CCNP would be a good place to start. It provides the basic knowledge needed for beginning your CCIE studies.
I found that CCNP covered about 50 percent of the basic CCIE topics. After I was done CCNP, I had to learn some basics by myself, such as LAN frame formats, token ring, multicast, voice, dslw+, etc, etc., etc. Anyway, see if you can pass the CCNP tests without studying (maybe buy some practice tests if you don't want to pay the real thing yet). They should be brainless to a CCIE candidate.
