Help choosing masters in the UK

Recieved both masters offers from Leeds for Consumer Analytics and Edinburgh for Marketing.

Leeds is more practical (teaches GIS, R) and Edinburgh seems to be pure theory.

Other factors I'm worried about:

Is uni prestige important when it comes to industry network? (Edinburgh ranks higher)

Are the tools taught by Leeds outdated for the job market?

For now I'm leaning towards Edinburgh and doing courses on SQL/Python to compensate for the quant.

Edinburgh vs Leeds for Masters?

I got Marketing for Edinburgh and Consumer Analytics for Leeds. Leeds teaches quant while Edinburgh seems to be full theory/qualitative.

Just wondering if Edinburgh's prestige is worth going or would practical skills at Leeds be better?

Edinburgh Marketing vs Leeds Consumer Analytics

Got offers for Marketing MSc at Edinburgh uni and Consumer Analytics and Marketing Strategy MSc at Leeds.

I'm from a management background with little quant knowledge but I'm willing to learn. I'm better at strategy/consumer behavior as I've done it before but might look to get into consumer analytics.

My issue with Edinburgh is that it has little quant and I heard it is more research oriented. Leeds ranks lower (I know ranks are not everything) but it has R and GIS so I'm interested.

Trying to decide between the two. Can anyone give any advice/talk abt their experience at any of the two? Thanks.
