Sante - Even though there are a lot of people would disagree, I'm with you on this one.
I think my following comments are ok in this particular scenario where PMP in terms of Time, Effort, and Cost gives a quicker Payback. I would even go deeper saying that it would be a waste of time and money to have JUST an MPM (notice I say just) unless of course it is formally required by an employer.
Again, in this scenario, I believe PMP cert with a junior PM job, is much better than an MPM title with a junior PM job.

Although I have my PMP, I would still probably have decided the same. The PMP is [seemingly] more recognizable.
Andrew - I agree Saving Changes...

The scenario would be totally different if someone asks about having a PMP/MPM, or having a PMP/MBA or having an MPM/MBA.
PMP/MBA is a suggested option for me, the other two not so much. Saving Changes...
