I think your first question is a variant depending on learning styles.
Multiple vendors are out there, and AFAIK, each one has recently updated
products to go through all the focus areas of the SP exam. I can only
speak to details in the IPexpert products though!

As for the harder exam, that's a matter of perspective and how much
experience you have going into it! There is less focus/interest in the
industry on this certification, so I think that plays a big part of the
lower numbers there. That and many people believe the R&S exam is the
"primary" CCIE.

Pass rates are not officially released by Cisco, and again, this number is
merely a statistic that doesn't reflect the number of people who simply are
not prepared, or who attempt and never come back. So I wouldn't necessarily
worry about this anyway!

Personally, I thought it was the most straight-forward of any of the CCIE
tracks that I have been through. And the most real-world focussed as well.

Hi,
   
  Have some questions regarding the SP Track for our SP CCIEs !
   
  -Which is the best vendor for SP COD and SP labs ?
  -Is it true that SP is a harder exam, and has a lower pass rate ? (Only
440+ SP CCIEs right now compared to 13000K R&S)
  -Whats the pass rate average for the SP ? (Example 2.2 or 2.7 attempts for
R&S ?)
