Our verdict
On our criteria, DMC wins for the most common profile. Broadcasters, agencies and production houses — the regional media cluster.
That said, Studio City remains the right call if: film and tv production, post-production houses. Headline price should not decide this alone — visa quota and banking reception usually matter more.
