simply because you had not read the official site in details yet.
and I guess you miss the MPhil Finance in the Judge business school also. (maybe also Part III math...)

Actually I don't think there are any master that are a excellent preparation for working afterwards in quantitative finance (either P / Q) in Cambridge when compared to school of similar level.

Reason = read in the program structure, and course description of the program and compare that of her peers. (e.g. compare with Oxford MSc Computational and financial mathematics.)

If you don't care about the program structure, but just the reputation.....well this is not a problem at all, especially when one aim at general role only, but be prepared to not able to pass through technical interview if you plan to apply for some technical (i.e. interesting to some, but boring for some) role.
(P.S. but that why go for economics? for analytical skill go for a math&stat, for networking go to the business school, for academics interest, well, are that be eaten?)

at the end, the name of a school is only an entrance ticket to interview, and after that the rest depends on how well the applicant fit the role...

大神别误会~我不是只想混个硕士~~~我当然是想好好地提高自己哒~只是有些名气大的学校 虽然项目没别的学校好 还是抵挡不住诱惑呀~~~就算课程设置什么的稍微差一点 这些都可以自己学习学习~~~

对于我为什么一开始选econ~
首先本科是quantitative econ，想着申请的时候有点优势；
其次，小女子真的喜欢微观啊~~~尤其微观计量~~~
但是又觉得女娃实在是没那么多时间奉献给伟大的学术事业，然后也没有特别的学术天赋，只是比较勤奋，所以就想着读个硕士就早点工作吧
math&stat感觉自己智商不够用啊 太吃力怕被逼到极限
finance现在也决定要申了啦~~~为生计所迫啊木有办法~~~不过finance给我的感觉是不能好好学习课程 要花很多的精力在networking上（不知道准不准确，毕竟我也不是金融本科生）

microeconometrics are not really very useful (well, far not as useful as macroeconometrics, i.e. time series) in finance. tons of application of various time series model, computational statistics (or whatever big data) in finance......

well, kind of tradeoff at the end. economics theory class are not useful (except training of analytical mindset) even at master level for practical work, 99.99% of the time.

=> if you go for a economics master, and plan to work in the financial industry, choose a flexible one, which allow one to take tons of elective in econometrics and statistics, and advance (i.e. quantitative) class, and choose a school with a strong research in financial economics, and solid name in the financial industry. That should be enough for a risk / portfolio / etc... role as one have quite some statistics, but not really enough for roles that derivatives pricing model are involved (i.e. not enough for Q side quant)

a master in finance is seldom technical and thus don't need to 好好学习课程. Networking in order to get an internship is way more important. It won't lead to a technical role for sure either.

P.S. well, "就算课程设置什么的稍微差一点 这些都可以自己学习学习", well the difficulties are:
1. normal you won't have the time
2. even worst is......one even don't know what is missing if one is not in the field (imagine what will happen if a economist went to an interview for a derivative quant.....)
