The pursuits presented are not mutually exclusive; pursue both.
I think both are equally prestigious, the CFA being the hard of the two to earn. Frankly, I think people need to stop comparing the MSF to the CFA.
MSF - 1 year CFA - 3 years (at least)
MSF - Schools alumni network CFA - CFA network
MSF - OCR CFA - Networking and jobs offered within
MSF - People with little to no experience CFA - 4+ years or relevant experience
MSF - Expensive CFA - Relatively cheap
This is only a few differences. Both are great and many people get both, but they are different and not really a good comparison.
