Excluding financial moments, it depends on at lest two reasons:

Congrats anyway.
Dear friend, thank you for your feedback. It's hard to me figuring out what is better an your words are precious.
I don't have a strong business academic or professional background. I'm an engineer. My goal is MBB and what I'm concerned about is the ability of a one-year MBA program (even though a top-notch one as INSEAD is) to let you switch.
Like you, I think that a two-years program with an intership would give me a better shoot.
I'm really struggling to understand what to do....
In that case, it might be a better idea to choose Tuck. It is top Mba school. However, I guess that you have already noticed that many engeenires attend Insead. I know one who attended it before ten years and he has been a succesful invesment banker for many years-I mean he founded his own investment bank company. So Insead it seems to be ready to swith one`s carrer in short period of time. Anyway, you should think about your job location, As I have already mentioned, with Insead you could find a job in the US, but it would not be easily-if you do not have good networking there. Tuck costs more than Insead-it means much more. It is preaty obvoiuse, you cannot make a wrong choise, you can make only the better one. Are you thinking abot asking deferal from Insead for Januar intake. It is not long delay. On the other hand Januar intake has 6 weeks internship, which septmeber does not. It is not long internship, but it better than nothing.
I'm in for the September 2015 intake and so I'd not have to attend an internship. I think the job location is a very important thing to think about. Clearly, Tuck would give me the opportunity of a better placement in USA.
What I think about is that now I'm 31 years old (32 at December) and a two-years program would let me enter the work force at 33 (almost 34) but on the other hand in USA are more flexible about age.
I have to say that fortunately you are right. There is no wrong choice. Just a better one.
