Reading or Leicester for BA English?

So recently Reading reduced my original offer of ABB to just a single B in English Literature meaning it doesn't matter what I get in my other A-levels. I am so grateful for this and was so happy until I spoke to other people about it. I also really like Leicester who have offered me a place for ABB. I like Reading and Leicester equally but Leicester is better regarded apparently. I'm very worried that I won't get ABB for Leicester and if I don't I could end up at Aberystwyth as this will be my insurance choice which would be way worse than going to Reading. Last year I got BBBE the e was in chemistry so it doens't really matter in regards to an English degree. I'm sitting my AS English to get an A because I was very close- I just didn't finish the exam paper. What would you do? Go to Reading in the knowledge that it's good and you can get in or risk it and try to get ABB to go to a better regarded university even if this might mean going to a lower university if I don't get in?
