As paco says, there are many more factors which are important. From everything I've heard and read, helicopter operators wouldn't consider integrated/modular at all - it's a CPL(H). Now, what are your hours, types and experience???!!! That's what they'll consider!!
I work in a different industry, but play a part in the recruitment process and my views align with the 'other stuff is more important'. For the theoretical side of ATPL/CPL, I would be interested in what candidates learnt and took away from their courses, e.g. an aviator that has no understanding or interest in Met. is a 'curiosity' at best.

I've met a couple of the ex-military rotary crowd and would not like to compete with them for employment. They've already been selected by a necessarily very thorough process, they tend to have a good mix of flying experience, often management experience and they all seem remarkably pleasant and free of some of the personality defects that one occasionally finds elsewhere in the aviation world.

If i was changing industry, i would also plan career options in advance including researching ageism issues.
