IE or ESADE for Master's in Finance?

Hi everyone!

With graduate applications about to open, I have a hard time choosing between 2 business schools and wanted to ask your opinion. In the future, I want to work within asset management/fintech.
I am applying to 3 programs: LBS MFA, ESADE MSc Finance and IE Business SChool Master in Finance.
Of course if I get admitted to LBS, I will choose that in a heartbeat. However, if I don't get in, I will have a hard time choosing between ESADE and IE.

Quick summary:
ESADE - Barcelona, 10 months, 28.500 Euros
IE - Madrid, 10 months, 36.000 Euros

Both seem to place fairly well into European and US firms as well (compared to European business schools of course).

What is your opinion? Which one would you choose and why? Thanks in advance.
