Imperial MSc Finance and Accounting vs LSE MSc Accounting and Finance

Hey everyone, I was very lucky to receive offers from both of the institutions and facing a very hard choice between the two, here are the pros from my observation for each programme:
IMPERIAL
*The course is more practical
* Optional modules seem to be more interesting
*More emphasis on careers, rather than academy (Opportunity to take on extra non-assessed modules such as VBA/Python to facilitate further development, less academic hours, again more practical)
LSE:
*Slighly stronger reputation in London where I plan to work
*Significantly stronger reputation abroad (in case I decide to relocate in the future)
*Even though the course is known to be not their flagship, with the electives it can be made identical to their MSc Finance course with the exception of 1 module. However the modules are taught in the department of Accounting rather than Finance.
I would really appreciate any thoughts!
