MIT Sloan vs. INSEAD

Hi all,
I have been admitted to both MIT Sloan and INSEAD, while I am still in waitlist for Chicago Booth.
I am really uncertain on which program I should go for.
I have worked in a relatively small mid-market private equity firm for the last 5 years and my goal is to remain in the industry after graduation (or at least in the investment management industry).
I am European and I have been told that is difficult to remain in the US after graduation. Nonetheless, I would say that it is very likely that I will come back to Europe (maybe London) in the mid-term.
I would appreciate your your advice and opinion on the subject!
Thank you in advance.
MIT Sloan:
- pros: strong reputation worldwide, opportunity to have a more significant and diverse experience (2 years in the US);
- cons: double time and expenses, weaker network in Europe, little focus on finance (academics).
INSEAD:
- pros: stronger network in Europe, significantly better ROI and half the investment, shorter time away from work;
- cons: probably less prestigious degree, opportunity to experience Asia and US but for a short time (respectively a maximum of 4 and 2 months).
