Need help choosing between Edinburgh and Imperial

I have offers from the MSc in Artificial Intelligence (a bit more theoretical) at UofE and the MSc in applied computational science and engineering(practical heavy) at Imperial.
I like the modules at both unis, although imperial seems a bit restrictive. Tuition is identical but the cost of living in London is way more, I would love your perspectives on both these programs.
Background: I've worked in academia for a year and half and would like a switch to industry.

Cheers

Hey, congrats on your offers. In how much time did you hear back from Edinburgh? I'm going to apply to the same program soon, very much interested.

Obviously focus on which, if either, you prefer but in general I would recommend going to imperial. It is much more prestigious and you will have more job offers when you graduate.
Good luck.
