MSc in Finance before top MBA: does it make sense?

Dear Veritas Prep team, I received my bachelor degree in 2015. And now I'm about to win an educational grant with stipend to the best full-time MSc in Finance program in Central Asia. But then, will it make sense to apply to the top MBA program (HBS, Stanford, Wharton)? Is it considered as advantage or disadvantage? Won't they ask questions like why do you need second Masters? Even though they have different curriculum
To be honest, I have low GPA score (I used to work during my university study) about 3.1. However, I have really good background, and I planned to cover my low Bachelor degree GPA using high MSc in Finance GPA. What do you think about it? Is it advantage or disadvantage? Should I apply to MSc in Finance (full-time good program with scholarship), or should I skip it in order to apply to the top MBA program?
