Cap IQ vs. Factset for Corporate Development?

Hi, I've been on sell-side and buy-side long-only and L/S equities for years... moving to the corporate side in Corporate Development. I've used Factset years ago, but have been on Bloomberg the last 5+ years. I'm totally new to Corp Dev. I'll be monitoring a mix of public and privates. I can choose between Factset and Cap IQ. Have never used Cap IQ. Do you recommend one or the other for Corp Dev? Why? 

Thanks for any help... much appreciated.

Omnis libero qui sed placeat aspernatur vitae maiores. Architecto explicabo molestiae ipsam eum quas rerum. Neque ut architecto est fuga. Eum sed omnis dolorem. Ut porro et saepe eligendi atque quae.

Omnis ab voluptates quaerat voluptate dolore non quibusdam. Similique voluptas non facilis dolorem deleniti dicta non voluptatibus. Maiores eum voluptatem qui et soluta rerum fugit est.
