Cambridge vs Imperial

Hi folks, I am interested in a career in finance and consulting, and I currently hold a few master's offers including:


Cambridge: MPhil Econs and Finance
Imperial: MSc Finance; MSc Economics and Strategy.


Which one should I go for?

If I'm not wrong the Cambridge one is a research-based Masters, I have heard its a boring class with mostly academics. The target MSc Finance for FO roles are Oxford, LBS, LSE; and then Imperial.
