Default How important is accreditation for a MBA?

I am looking between two programs; The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accredits one, while International Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE) accredits the second. I know the AACSB is more coveted within the business community, but is a degree from an institution accredited by IACBE worthwhile? Do the different levels of accreditation really matter? Or is it merely important to get a degree from an accredited university? The AACSB degree will be much harder to attain (fitting into my schedule), is it worth completely going out of your way to get the higher accreditation?

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and responding

it does matter when you are looking for a good job opportunity, top companies look for students from top universities, so as far as possible go for top universities.

if you have your own business then it wont make much difference, just for the sake of getting a degree is alright.

It depends on lots of things. Money is key too. For my undergraduate I attended a small college in the Midwest (US) but in the fall I am attending UW-Madison which is a AACSB which has a specialize MBA program. Lastly, experience is the key. Most employers will look for someone with a degree and some experience. They go hand in hand.
