University of Edinburgh vs Durham University

Hi,
I received offers to study at both Edinburgh and Durham for a postgraduate taught programme. I am rather confused between these, as both are top notch universities. I wish to work in quantitative finance, and both the unis offer solid programs for each. Durham would cost me lower in terms of tuition vs Edinburgh, but Edinburgh has an amazing reputation globally and is ranked incredibly high, except in the complete uni guide where Durham is miles ahead. I am confused between this, as both are away from London, so would being away affect my job prospects. As a whole which uni would you recommend?

I really doesn't matter as both are so similar. Go where you feel happier.

Hey, thank you for the reply. The issue is, as I am an international student, I cannot truly gauge the differences or where I would be happy. So I am looking for potential opinions.
