A masters in business finance is more generic in terms of the curriculum. It will give you a wide range of opportunities. It gives a wide range of courses with the core of "Finance". You would be studying Financial accounting, planning, Management, Corporate accounting, project planning, appraisal, finance etc.

MBA in Quantitative Finance also has the base focus on finance but this is more towards studying finance using modelling and analytical techniques. It is a combination of quantitative analytics and financial modelling.

The program you want to choose is highly dependent on the long term goal you have set for yourself. Quant finance will give you mostly Finanalytics opportunities or modelling opportunities and is niche while the MBF program will open a wider range.
