Default Executive Msc/MBA

Dear all,

I'm considering doing an Executive Masters in Finance part time in City University of New York (CUNY) in a local campus.

Some info about myself:

-early thirties
-being in banking sector since graduation
-have a young kid

I'm thinking of doing the Msc because of a few reasons:
- my first degree is not in finance nor hard science
- thus would like to deepen my knowledge in some finance areas (intrinsic)
- to gain an edge in competing for senior roles?
- I feel im more of a specialist person rather than a leader, thus am opting for an Executive Msc rather than an MBA
- i've ruled out those which cost SGD50k & above in view of risk/rewards

I would like to ask, is an executive Msc in Finance considered to be at a "lower hierarchy/less on par" compared to an MBA?

For instance, consider an investment specialist in a bank or a senior financial controller/treasury manager in an MNC. Does it matter whether they hold a Exec Msc or MBA, in determining their career potential?

Feel free to raise any other relevant pointers/suggestions

Thanks
