Is a venture capital internship good for IB?

I'm lucky to have secured an internship at an established VC firm during my final year of university. I get to work on some exciting deals, and make a real contribution. My duties include due diligence on startups and the technology sector, financial statement analysis, assisting in capital raises, IPOs, and currently building a financial model for a deal I've been entrusted to handle (obviously with supervision).

My question is, is this experience look upon favorably when looking for FT roles at IBs? Am I seen as having more, less, or equal experience compared to others with SA positions at IBs? I love VC and the work they do, but I would still love to dabble my hand in some IB experience. And yes, I'm well aware of buy side vs sell side crap, but that matters very little to me.
