Choosing between MBB & Commodities Trading Internships - London

Have received two summer internship offers in London, one is MBB generalist consulting, the other is as an analyst at a mid-size merchant commodities trader (on a power desk).  Comp is ~2x higher at the trading firm and offer rate for interns was 0.5%.  MBB is obviously also highly coveted.  Unsure how to weigh up prestige, future career prospects, earnings potential etc.
