Worth Switching From FT to WSJ?

Hey guys. As I prepare for FT recruiting during my senior year, I was wondering whether reading the WSJ compared to the Financial Times really makes that much of a difference for banking interviews. All of the professors at my school always urge us to read the WSJ even though the school gives students a free subscription to the Financial Times. I have been reading the FT for about 6 months now and it seem like I am up-to-speed with everything going on. I just wanted to see if it is actually worth buying the WSJ instead of using my FREE FT subscription.

Any input would be great. Thanks.
