Economics and Maths or with Finance

Hi, I'm applying to Edinburgh University as a Scottish Student because it's usually considered the best Scottish University for Economics (and the best business school). I'm using it as a stepping stone to get into a top Masters Program afterwards in Finance in London/Oxbridge or in the US. I plan to have my future career in Finance.

Which program is better for doing this, MA Economics and Mathematics or MA Economics with Finance. Either interests me enough to be content with it, however Finance probably slightly more.

My concern is that a 'and' full-joint honours is probably more respected than a 'with'. However, I think the finance classes would be interesting and I would speak to interesting people and understand the field better. Regardless, I'm fine with either.
