EnCE - Worthwhile if I Already Hold SANS GIAC Forensic Cert?

Hi Forensic Focus'ers,I currently have a SANS GIAC forensic certification, and I am now considering studying for the EnCE EnCase certofocatopm. The exam is only $200, but I am not sure if it's worthwhile to me since I already have the SANS GIAC forensic certification and I am already making quite a bit over $100,000 in my current security job here in the United States. I am not planning to do a ton of hands-on forensics in the future (I currently do), but would want to manage a team of forensic specialists.Being a foreign national, I will not be applying for for government forensic positions here in the USA now or in the future, but instead I would countinue to stay in the private sector, if that makes any difference. I know the EnCE is valued with the government and government contractors (neither of which I would be applying to), but I am not sure about the private sector.What do you guys and gals think, will an EnCE bring much value to someone already forensic certified from SANS GIAC?

Correct me if i am wrong.

SANS's examination are MC based and EnCE exam is MC + Hands on.

MC certification is like the "Multiple Choice System Engineer" (You know what i mean). And I have also heard somebody failing EnCE for 3 times. Thats why I will put my bet on EnCE.
