University of Edinburg Business School Vs Imperial College Business School MSc Programs

As an International applicant with around 3 years of work experience in Financial Research and Trading, I'm having a tough time evaluating my two offers. I am a FinTech enthusiast and my post-graduation goal is to work at a FinTech startup in the Strategy / Policy /Business Development domains. I have the following offers:

1. Imperial College Business School - MSc Finance & Accounting (Had applied to Msc FinTech but couldn't get that)

2. University of Edinburgh (Business School) - MSc Finance, Technology, Policy

Edinburgh costs marginally lower but I'm a little concerned about the difference in opportunities. However, the curriculum at Edinburgh suits me better. I am looking for an informed opinion on the two programs with respect to employment opportunities, location (dis)advantages, and ROI. Any feedback about the programs will be of help too.
Thanks!

When did you apply for Imperial? I sent in my application for the MSc Finance & Accounting in late February, but still haven't heard back yet.
