Hey ...
go for UIUC ... the quality of UIUC CS PhD is amazing ... very little difference from Stanford for CS PhD atleast ... don't mess up both offers by trying anything risky/tricky ... If PhD is your final aim then you end up saving a year by going into Direct Phd ... infact I don't see where your confusion is coming ... I know a 4-5 people who have MS CS offers from Stanford, but very very few PhD CS UIUC, they don't compare .. seriously.... MS from Stanford one of my batchmates got too this year ... but I just wish I had a PhD CS from UIUC .. it's a great offer ... ofcourse if it was a PhD from Stanford then the comparison would come up, but here there isn't any... so don't mess up .. nothing will go wrong ... the little "risk" and "back-up" you are talking about 99% of us are also gonna be in the same boat after this 15th April when we reject our other aid offers and commit on one.... so practically no extra risk...
