Cass MSc Finance (Corp Finance) vs LSE Economic History vs Warwick Finance

I know is a just seen topic but the others are getting really older.
So I'm facing with this big doubt.
I'm working on my GMAT but I have to prepare an hedging position: In case I get rejected from LSE A&F should I take EH or hijack my candidacy to Cass Finance/Warwick Finance?

Edit: Money is a problem, the less the better. LSE EH cost 13k£ vs Cass Finance 27k£.

Goal to work in IB in London, prepare the CFA and then do an MBA in US.

Ty guys, appreciate all your help.

PS: In case you have to suggest other LSE course with high acceptance rate/possibility to get into - shoot (I saw for example monetary policy or risk and society but EH has the best graduate destinations in terms of wages and positions)

I'd personally take LSE EH. The only issue with that is being able to explain to employers why you did a Master's in Economic History given that you want to work in IB. Aside from that, the Master's will be on your CV forever, and whilst Warwick is a great school in terms of IB placement into London, I don't think it's as prestigious as LSE or that it's name carries as well outside the UK/Europe as LSE's does. Staying in London is also more convenient (when attending interviews / networking etc.) and I think 33K (in the event that you didn't get a discount) is steep for Warwick. Cass is very good at Master's level but still isn't targeted by all banks. I'd rather pay half the price going to LSE and take advantage of its connections and network than attend Cass.

For full disclosure, I'm going to be starting an MSc at LSE so I'm probably biased.
