RSM vs ESE

Received offers for both Finance and Investments at Rotterdam School of Management and Financial Economic at Erasmus School of Economics. The only considerations I have are tuition fees: ESE is 5500 cheaper than RSM. Content wise the same. Reputation wise RSM is recognized in Europe, but both programs are well known in the Netherlands. Because I am looking to start in the Netherlands, reputation does not matter. Hence, I am looking to join ESE. Does anyone has any insights on my key assumptions: content and reputation. I appreciate your responses!

Both are great. RSM better recognized worldwide but ESE is more economics and maths intense than RSM (perhaps harder also). Also, both are part of Erasmus University we tend to forget that!!
