not sure yet, it feels like I have to go to Kellogg because I'm not only after the degree but would really like to use the time and Kellogg gives me another year to meet people, live in the US, maybe work in the US afterwards. The strength is also the weakness - 2 years means more effort and also money.
Oxford is a fantastic programme and it would be relatively "easy" in that I can keep my life so to speak. Moving to Chicago will be a drastic change.
To cut a long story short - I have no clue but will use the weekend to approach this logically (objective evaluation) and emotionally.

WomeMBA - where are you originally from?
Just my two cents - If your career has anything to do with Sales / Marketing (or even general business management), I think you should go for Kellogg with eyes closed. The prestige of Kellogg's program and its alumni network makes it one of the best possible schools to go to, for that particular field.
As someone who has decided to go to Said, I can say that I was primarily motivated by the fact that it is one of the best 1 year programs out there, with access to one of the world's best universities and the alumni that comes with it. Just today, I was reading that in the UK apart from the Prime Minister, the Foreign Secretary, Defence Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer are all Oxonians! Maybe not the alumni you and me will get the chance to interact with, but this certainly gives an idea of what the place produces. I do not intend to change my job industry (Finance), so figured that a 1 year program will be good for me. I was also not keen to spend a lot of money for a 2 year program, and be away from the job-force for that long!
I am extremely chuffed that I will be going to Said this Fall, but would advise you that if you feel that Kellogg will be a direct boost for your career, you should opt for it. If not, perhaps I will see you at Said in a few months!
