Should I complete the DPLP or the SQE?

Hello!! I am having trouble deciding which route to go down. I will be graduating this year with a degree in Scots law but I know I want to practice down in London eventually. Everyone I know is applying for the Scottish Diploma in Legal Practice but I am now questioning whether I should apply for the SQE preparation course?? I have not applied for any internships or training contracts as I have been so unsure and each course option ends up being similar costs and length? I am so undecided, Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you - also another question, how long does it take to complete SQE 1 + 2?!
