How many 9i databases do you run? how many are you planning to install in the next 18 months? How many of those will your app vendors support. given that a crash course for the OCP should only take 2 or 3 months methinks your analogy is overblown. I must admit I'd go for the 8i + upgrade route and then claim 2 certs.
