Durham or Manchester

I have an offer to study CS&Maths @ Durham, and am waiting for results day to see if I can steal a place at UoManchester too. I am targeting careers in both tech and finance (S&T particularly) so whilst Manchester has a marginally better name for tech, this doesn't matter much since tech aren't particularly concerned with prestige of university at such a fine level, also Durham is seen as a Semi target whilst Manchester isn't really. Am I right to take Durham?
