Is HEC / LSE / LBS worth it?

Hi, I would highly appreciate every opinion, since I am struggling with decision regarding masters. 

My goal is to complete analyst years in London and return to my home country. 

About me: bachelor's degree in Finance (non-target school), 3 months in consulting, next year i will have >1 year of combined internship experience at 3 different firms (small cap, MM and EB, all regional offices). Planning to pursue masters in Finance and land a job in London.

My choices are either HEC / LSE / LBS and going into ~35k debt, or SSE / RSM / ESADE / WU / St. Gallen and ~5k debt (euro).

Is completing masters at top european program really worth so much debt, considering my plans to land a job in London, yet not living there for more than 2-3 years? Would you suggest any adjustments to my plans that will help me? 

Every opinion is highly appreciated!

If you're planning on returning to your home country anyway, why even bother with dragging yourself through the gauntlet that is London recruiting? Can't you simply get a FT position at one of the MM/EB regional offices in your country from the get-go? Or do you simply want to enhance your profile to have a leg-up back home? If the latter is the case, any one of SSE/RSM/HSG etc. would serve just fine without having to work in London at all.
