Elliot International Development Studies vs. John Hopkins SAIS IDev

[sasm]

I am admitted to GWU Elliot International Development Studies (with $16k annual fellowship) and JHU SAIS Intl. Development.

I am completing undergrad in Business Economics (some econometric content also)  from an European Research University this Summer,

I have some months of intern experience and currently part time employed in university language center.

From different sources I understand that JHU SAIS Intl. Development curriculum  has lot of economics and quantitative content and

quite popular among recruiters.

Can anybody guide me the different aspects of joining SAIS or Elliot?? Financing graduate study at SAIS (more than $75k per year) is

definitely stressing (although I can manage with pain). Is Elliot at par as far as curriculum is concerned and is as popular as SAIS?
