Imperial MSC Finance & Accounting VS MSc Finance Bayes Business School

Hi everyone, 

I applied to only two schools: Imperial and Bayes. I've received an offer for MSc Finance at Bayes and an offer for MSc Finance & Accounting at Imperial, which was my second choice at Imperial. My plan is to stay in London after completing my master's and try to secure a job in IB, preferably M&A. I'm very unsure which offer to accept. As I understand it, Imperial's reputation is slightly better than Bayes'. At Imperial, I would only have two courses different from if I had pursued their finance master's (which is their flagship program). Does anyone have any insights into which school I should choose? Appreciate all responses.
