ROI of GSB MBA + Stanford Eng. CS MS vs. standalone GSB MBA

Hi - from a personal interest standpoint I'm interested in getting a CS MS so let's take the piece of the equation of "do you want to do it" out of this conversation. 

I'm looking to pivot from tech PE to infrastructure and application SaaS VC post-MBA and wondering what the ROI is on taking a third year to complete a GSB MBA + Stanford Eng. CS MS. I've already been accepted to GSB. Thoughts?
