I agree, both are really important. I think integration tests get passed over because they require a higher level view of your software. Personally, in my day job, I'm not extremely familiar with the domain, so I'm pretty ineffective at writing sensible integration tests. I can, however, pass my unit tests/contracts off to the guys that are familiar with the domain so they can shape up an integration test.
