Duke MQM or LBS MAM?

So

Duke MQM:BA Strategy Track
LBS Masters in Analytics & Management.

have a merit scholarship from LBS, so currently the cost difference is ~$22k more for duke. (scholarship is not the deciding factor)
From South Asia.

LBS:
pros: Global Brand Value(ranked higher), Scholarship so less $$, a lot of alumni in UAE, 2 year work visa in U.K so easier path to getting work sponsorship
cons: London MC's prefer locals or Europeans(based on my linkedin research), Gross Salaries are much lower in London($54k mean), London is expensive af to live in, as of 2019 only 50% of student body places in U.K(might be because LBS is more global not everyone targets staying in london?)

Duke:
pros: Strategy track has good placements in consulting, 90%+ places within U.S, Good starting salaries ($80k+)
cons: Costs More, Competitive U.S Market, H1B lottery+Unsure future immigration,

Deciding factor: Employability after the degree in the country of the school OR Middle East as a backup.
Target Sectors: Consulting, IB, Tech

Need more info an advice, this is a decision that is going to guide the rest of my life and I'm stuck.
