I do think they are different experiences, Studying in UK versus Studying in US. LBS is a great school, while Ohio & Purdue are also excellent. In US, you will have opportunity to feel the best business idea and environment. No one can deny that US is leading in business thinking. Exchange rate? Forget it. Compared with your future, it is a dust. If you wanna back to China, LBS is obviously the most efficient. If you consider to experience a kind of life in a more challenging and competitive environment, don't hesitate to choose US. Regarding Ohio and Purdue, I would choose Purdue because Indiana has more opportunities. The best way is to carefully research the placement and student body of these two schools. However, agree with FeiXue, don't give up UK before you get the visa from US. The deposit would be worthy.
In term of school, LBS I believe is better one. So the question left is whether you want to advance your career in finance. I hope you know the answer clearly.
One thing I do want to remind you is MBA is not as easy to find a job in US in the recent years, especially for foreigners.

Highly agree with this point! Study process itself is an important experience in your life. It's not merely a means leading to your future sucess. Just depends on yourself.
