INSEAD vs H/S/W for Year 1 Comp

I know this topic is discussed a lot, especially in myriad variations. I thought I'd share a very specific insight that the post-INSEAD year 1 comp expectations beats many M7 schools and is also right in the running with H/S/W year 1 comp for US jobs. For more detail, I can send you my excel on this.
US Median Total Comp/Salary: HBS - $225K/$158K GSB - $229K/$160K WG - $187K/$158K (Wharton never reports performance bonus salary, whereas the others average >$30K signing bonus) INSEAD - $225K/$160K Note: Total comp = Salary + Performance Bonus + Signing Bonus. All numbers are either directly from the school job reports, or simple addition to derive them.
The thing everyone forgets when they look up these numbers is to filter to "US only" salaries.
I thought this was very interesting as a friend of mine asked me if I would rather go to INSEAD or Wharton, since I interviewed at both (720 GMAT, 3.58 GPA, McKinsey then start-up). My response was, "INSEAD makes more sense for me, sounds more fun, it's cheaper, and I'd make just as much money afterward, but Wharton is Wharton so who knows."
He didn't believe I'd make just as much money, so I share this because if you end up working in the US, the reality is that INSEAD likely beats Wharton for total comp in the US for year 1, and if not, it's very close.
So is the INSEAD MBA actually a steal for $100K less than the Wharton MBA?

I would add that it depends a lot on which industry/position you go, regardless of your school you will find similar salaries at many places, INSEAD is well known in many good paying US companies, so you can find good opportunities, also, there is not so much competition within INSEAD for US positions, so you can have more opportunities.
