Tier 1 summer internship vs tier 2 full time analyst

My friend is in a bit of a dilemma, he has received a full time analyst offer to start in 2017 IBD at a tier 2 bank which he planned to accept but then also received a 2017 offer for a summer internship at a tier 1 (think GS/MS/JPM/baml)

The problem is if he takes the summer internship there is no guarantee of a full time offer at the end, and if he was to convert to an offer it would be to start in 2018 so he would have a year out wasted - they also won't defer (he's asked).

He's asked me for advice but I honestly have no clue - i'm leaning towards saying to take the tier 2 as its guaranteed and he would be entering analyst 2 by the time he would have started his analyst 1 at the tier 1 (if he converts to a full time).

Thoughts?
