You think the name brand school would put him ahead in life over $400,000 sitting in a retirement account when he graduates at 22?
That depends on what he wants to do.
He doesn't seem to be aiming for an elite job, so GTech is likely the better financial decision.
If he was trying to get into IB, entertainment (management, agency, etc.), Big Tech, major politics, etc., the name brand means a LOT, and the potential economic rewards dwarfs the $400k.

Elite is an interesting word choice. Name brand is what we're talking about. Prestigious is probably the most accurate word choice.
Really elite outcomes are not achieved by applying to existing companies and impressing middle management with the prestigious name of the school.
The guys who end up with the top 1% of 1% outcomes don't do that though. They start their own companies or political brand names.
Getting into politics or tech or engineering as middle management is much easier with a prestigious college on your CV. At least that would be my default guess without seeing an actual analysis of statistical outcomes.
