LBS MiM vs SSE MFIN?

Hi everybody!

So, i've had the good fortune of being admitted to both the programs i applied to - the Msc in management at London Business School and the Msc in finance at SSE.

Problem is, i've come to realize that i have NO idea which one to pick, so i thought id look to you guys for input on the matter.

My post-graduate aims: Lifelong dream is to become an entrepreneur, should that not materialize I aim to pursue a career in Venture Capital. Long-term looking to work in Sweden/Scandinavia but not completely averse to other geographic placements. Believe the path there goes through a few years of working in IB/Consulting/Startups.

So, what do you guys think?

I realize it might be hard to give a concrete answear, but all input/thoughts are very much appreciated, as I truly am completely at a loss on what to do.

Some more concrete thoughts:

How would you rate the difference in brand strength between the schools/programs? Difference in career prospects between MiM/MFin? As SSE would be tuition-free, are the potential incremental benefits of LBS big enough to justify ~32000 pounds in tuition?
