Investment Banking Ross vs. Brown

I am a current high school senior and was recently admitted to Umich (Ross) out of state, and Brown. I would be studying finance at Ross and economics at Brown with hopes of breaking into investment banking post-grad. Brown would cost me around 70k/year while Ross would be about 30k. I could afford both schools but was wondering if it's really worth it to go to Brown just for the Ivy-league prestige. Does it place better than Ross due to less competition/name-brand? Also I think Umich would be a lot more fun but that's not as much of a concern right now. Overall, even with Brown being a lower-tier ivy, is it much better than Ross for career outcomes due to prestige?
