BB/EB/Upper MM in NY compared to mid to lower MM banks in regional cities?

I'm currently at a lower semi-target, thinking of transferring to a target school next fall. How big is the difference in exit opps, business school placement, and 15 year career trajectory from a major BB/EB/Upper MM in NY (BAML to Jefferies range) compared to mid and lower MM banks in regional cities (Ex. SunTrust in Atlanta, Brown Gibbons Lang in Cleveland, Tripletree in Minneapolis)?
