MS Finance after MBA?

Hello,
Does it make sense to do an MS in Finance after an MBA with finance concentration?
Also, my undergrad was in commerce. I'm in the top 1% of my class and I have a somewhat good profile, with college-level awards, paper presentations, and active participation. I have a passion for the field of finance and I don't think my MBA is going to provide me with adequate insight into the field. I'm not interested in a PhD.

I'm hoping to do my MS in at least the second tier colleges in the US. However, I did the bare minimum math in my undergrad. Should I bother with trying to apply for an MS in Finance? I understand that I cannot apply for Financial Engineering programs, but I'm looking for financial management related ones such as in UTexas Dallas or USC.
Any advice or opinions, please? Thank you for your time.

I don't think it makes much sense professionally as an MBA is the top business degree, but if you are actually interested in the academics of finance, but don't want to do a PHD then go ahead.

There are MSF programs that are more for working professionals and/or people with work experience so you should look into those. George Washington Uni and UIUC would be two that might be a good fit for you.
