Tough decision, you really need to do what feels right to you.

My husband and I both waited a few years between the Bachelor level and Masters. I am glad we waited. The courses were much more relevant with a few years of work experience. We could add more to the discussions and make class projects have value to what we were during at work. We both went part time, which means that it takes longer, but was easier to afford. The part time aspect made it so much less stressful than full-time college that I really was able to enjoy the classes and the workload.

My husband went for the MBA, I have the MSEng. I had no interest in the management courses I had to take as an undergrad, and so I had no interest in taking them in a Master's Program. I don't think either of us ever considered getting both. I'm not sure if it would have been recognized by our employers then or now as adding value to their organizations by having both.
