Hi Kurt,
I'm in a similar position to you in that i'm trying to decide between these two schools.
I think the thing about this forum is there's a lot of opinions flying around (get it?) so you've got to take what you read with a pinch of salt.
Having said that it can be a really useful way of gleaning information from people in the know.
My advice to you would be to go visit them both and use that to inform your decision. I've been to them both and that's really helped to separate fact from fiction and get a decent feel for the two schools.
Good luck!
