Series 56, how long should you study, benefits down road?

I'm wondering, as I'm about to take the series 56 exam, how long did anyone here who took it take in terms of studying? Also, given the sheer amount of stuff on it (it has everything from options hedging/income/fx options to stocks, rules, at least 500+ pages in Pass Perfect), will future employers see it as a sign of being well versed?

I took a class, including that probably about 40 hours or so. The Pass Perfect goes way overboard on the options section FYI. Study the online cheat sheets too.
