Prestige vs Total Cost of Attendance?

Hello, if I have the stats, and can choose between an MD that costs me 60k tuition a year, and a DO school that costs 35k a year... why would anyone choose the MD, assuming prestige isn't a factor (sorry, I really don't care about prestige). Are the residency opportunities enormous for MDs compared to DOs? Is it much easier for an MD to be hired? If the two above are true statements, then is it by A LOT, or A LITTLE? Is there really any practical reason to choose MD over DO, or at least... Prestige vs Total Cost of Attendance?
