Travel for Booth / Kellogg PT or stay home for Ross

My corporate sponsorship was recently approved for a weekend MBA program at either Booth, Kellogg, or Ross this upcoming year. I'm drawn to the brand name of Booth/Kellogg however, I currently live in Ann Arbor and am having a tough time justifying the additional cost (~25k) and four-hour commute to Chicago. If it has any impact on the decision, I currently work in Corp Dev (post-2yrs IB) and have plans to make my way west after my 2-year employer forgiveness period is over.

Has anyone else made a similar choice or gone through the process of selecting convenience over a slightly stronger brand name? Appreciate the input.
