Having been in the selection in grande ecoles - and having been in one of those myself - EP is definitely a school of engineers and ens a school of researchers/professors. All of our teachers were from ens. Not that there aren't researchers in so or my own grande ecole but I have seen people refuse to go to ep to attempt and the next year. But those schools really are top notch, each in their own way.
