EYP v Cornerstone (Summer 2023 UG Internship)

Hey! I am a current undergraduate at a T20 and have just received an offer for an EYP Summer Internship (Chicago but might change to NYC due to a personal thing). I am beyond ecstatic and it seems like a great opportunity. However, I also just had a final round with Cornerstone Research (DC Office) this past tuesday and I think it went really well. Speaking with people from both of these firms I love the culture and the fit. Can't speak too much to comp since don't know the specifics with Cornerstone yet. I am just wondering if I were to get the offer from Cornerstone for their internship which one to pick/what to value? Law school definitely on the radar wayyyy down the road but I also love consulting as an industry and might try for MBB next year as well. Let me know if I am being stupid/what y'all think!
