Advice: Who has a better reputation? Russell Investment Consulting or Cambridge Associates?

I'm trying to choose between the two for an investment consulting role. The Russell position is at their new headquarters in NYC, and Cambridge role is at their DC/VA office. Does anyone know which offers better rep, exit routes, b-school placement, salary?

From what I've gathered, C/A is a bit more respected in the industry and hires people from more "prestigious" schools. A quick LinkedIn search would confirm this, with lots of kids coming from Dartmouth, Amherst, Claremont, etc. Obviously you shouldn't base your decision on this alone.
