Imperial: MSc International Management vs. MSc ESB

Was planning to apply to ICL ESB but I also have a GMAT waiver for the ICL MSc International Management. Would the latter open more doors, since it seems to be a more competitive program to get in to?

Can't find much on LinkedIn for the latter program (I'm guessing the program is new), but what I have found seems a bit more impressive in terms of career impact.

Also, to what extent would having a pre-exp. MiM harm me in the application process for an MBA down the line?
