Chicago MM Trader to NYC FI Fund Middle Office

I am presently a MM at a Chicago Prop shop and I have an offer from a Fixed Income fund in NYC (AUM ~ $500 Mill) for a Middle office role. I was looking for some perspective on what would be a better career choice. The FI fund could see me transition into a Front Office role within 1-2 years.
