It depends on what you want from your education. Personally I didn't want to spend my university life being made to feel like I was in a big competition, so on the back of my own prejuidices about Oxford or Cambridge I didn't really consider either one as somewhere I wanted to do my degree. From what you say here I might have been misguided in my prejudices, but hey, I definitely don't regret going to Glasgow! For me the goal of getting to university wasn't ever about just my degree, it was getting away from home, meeting new people, and doing random things like GUST or whatever equivalent I would have found at another university.
The fact that neither of them offered a course I really wanted to do also played a big part.. but hey, this isn't really relevant to what you said...
