In the long run, does it really matter what M7 you attended?

I was having a discussion about bschool with my boss who went to HBS. He graduated almost 15 years ago and supports going to bschool and said any of the M7 are fine. He still has pride for his school, handles some recruiting at HBS but doesn't go to the HBS networking events anymore and is more focused on family. I've been H/S or bust and I want to reexamine this all or none attitude. I can't help but think this is a decision that will follow you around for the rest of your life but maybe I care too much about it and no one gives a damn. So I'm thinking if I get into any M7, I'll go whether it's the top or not.
