SA Advice Urgent: BarCap S&T vs CS FI S&T

Great choice to make, but I have to do it in the next couple of hours. I visited both places yesterday but was wondering if anyone else had any additional advice/suggestions:

I'm interested in FI, BarCap says they really want me to come, am close with one senior person. People are awesome at both places, BarCap is pushing the next top bank after Lehman idea which definitely is true to some extent, and CS is pushing the already awesome at FI idea. After visiting, to me its a complete toss up.

Thoughts?
