MIF later or MSC after a gap year?

Option 1: Target only in Italy Luiss Business school: I would pay like 4-5k in total for the 2 years of the msc in corporate finance, it places well in IB in Italy, and then go for MIF in LBS after 3 years of exp (worth it?).

Option 2: Gap Year and apply to RSM, CBS and others.

Keep in mind that i don't have Work Experience, i hope i'll get some this summer.

Why would you make the goal of taking two masters?

LBS MFA is 2yrs exp max (pre-experience), MIF (post experience) says average experience is 6 years, though 3yrs could maybe do it 62.5k gbp what is your goal out of that. Keep in mind its more like an MBA
 

You might as well gap and try to get more work experience, off cycles etc. This thread is also debating going to school without worth experience:
