Tough question, but at two years out, the person with four years has twice as 
much real world experience. I'd hire the person with twice as much experience. 

Fast forward again a few years and the two years of additional experience 
doesn't matter as much, say 5 years later a person with 7 yrs. experience and 
an undergrad degree comes to me and another person applies with an MBA and 
five years experience, I'd probably take the MBA.

This thread is not germane. I'll stop replying now... Bad programmer, no 
donut.
