High Altitude Loss of Thrust on both.

For the 737-800 pilots.
If you had Loss of Thrust on Both Engines at FL 400 would you aim for 275kts immediately even though that would put you through MMo while you carried out the checklist ( memory checklist that is), or would you sit on MMo while you did it?
I had always thought I would sit at MMo but some Boeing stuff I'm reading seems to indicate that it would be a good idea to prioritise the re start and exceed the speed. In my mind I can't think of much worse than setting off the clacker in that situation.
Your thoughts appreciated.
