Masters in Finance: Vlerick vs RSM

So I have been accepted into Vlerick's Masters in Financial Management course, and RSM's premaster IBA course (In which I will try to proceed into their Finance and Investments course). Vlerick would take 1 year, and RSM would take 2 years. Vlerick is ranked higher by FT's finance masters ranking, yet most people seem to advocate RSM.

I want to work in asset management after graduating, and don't really mind the location. In theory, I could get the CFA quicker with Vlerick's shorter course, as I plan to work towards it after graduating.

I'm wondering what you guys would choose.
