Queen Mary VS City (Mechanical Engineering)

hey guys. I'm nearly done receiving decisions from my 5 main choices and i'm in a dilemma where i have to decide which uni i'm aiming to be at this September. I applied to do Mechanical engineering and i've decided to make City and Queen Mary my two choices. I can't decide between these two unis because they both have their disadvantages and advantages.

QMUL:
Good on campus university
Great Reputation (Russel Group)
Apparently more well respected to possible employers
Stats and rankings for Engineering are lower than City's


City:
Also has a great reputation
Has great Job links
Stats and average starting salaries are higher
I was planning to spend a few years in financial services and they have good connections
However it does not have a big name as russel group compared to QMUL


Help ! i would love to hear replies from current students of both.

Personally i would suggest city as insurance. because they have amazing feedback from students and good links with major companies.
