Oxford MFE vs Imperial MSC Finance

Oxford MFE seems to take the edge on this forum, but I came across this article which gave me cause for concern.

Oxford ranks very poorly and the methodology used makes sense to me.

What are people's thoughts?

Be cautious of these articles. Yes, Oxford may not rank too highly but it still has a great brand name a representation for IB London. Imperial is expanding the course and making it really solid but they aren't surpassing Oxford just yet. The FTs 2018 ranking of MiMs doesn't even list LSE's one but I can tell you it is still better than Imperial's and Warwick's. This may change in a couple years but if you're entering now and graduating in 12-18 months, stick with the MFE
