People hiring are just trying to determine whether you are smart, and the quality of the education at the different schools (very similar) matters alot less than the fact of getting in, or being able to get in.
This is absolutely true. The question for OP is whether or not networking will cut in favor or against a larger "more prestigious" school aka alumni connections or if the financial freedom provided by UoM will be make or break. Again, OP is already in an amazing position. There's no wrong answer.
