I just got off the waitlist at Tuck and need to weigh it against a full-tuition scholarship at Darden. I view the two schools as extremely similar, and I don't want make a decision based on money. I feel like I already have the Tuck network, so going to Darden would expand my network more. Darden's the up-and-comer in the northeast, while Tuck's has a well established network.
My background: White, male, northeast US, ivy undergrad, working in finance/consulting currently
Career goal: move into non-profit endowment management or strategy consulting
My opinions on both:
Darden: (1) most engaged students; (2) strong alumni that get back to you instantly; (3) great quality of life; (4) on the upswing
Tuck: (1) stronger reputation in the northeast; (2) more alumni in strategy consulting; (3) students come from more brand name companies (4) "old boys club" networks

This is a tough call because Tuck is my #1 and I'm hoping calls for the WL continue next week.
That said, I don't know if the gap between Tuck and Darden is big enough to justify shelling out $115K-$120K to go to Tuck.
You'll get a lot of financial freedom by going to a top MBA for only the cost of living expenses.

Have you visited both schools? I assume you've been to Tuck to interview, but what about Darden?
I tend to agree with cobrakai that both schools are pretty similar, and its really had to pass up the 150k or whatever it turns out to be. That said, if you feel really attached to Tuck, certainly that is an excellent choice as well.
