I am an embedded software engineer at a company that does handheld electronics, and agree that both jobs are along spectrums. I spend a lot of time with the hardware engineers, and we all spend time testing things on our benches with signal generators and oscilloscopes as well as using computer tools to develop (software in my case and hardware in theirs).
If you want to work with some hardware, or on a test bench with lab equipment, you can always move over to embedded, as there are many jobs available; some even say it's less competitive.

My experience has been that the embedded jobs are controlled by companies that are very picky about experience. I am an EE that has been out of the game (professionally) for four years. It's like pulling teeth to get anybody outside the Valley to talk to me about an embedded job.
