That said, if a candidate from a 'top school' will take the lower salary then I still think that a person is in a more competitive position. The main point being that the brand of the MBA may matter a bit more in lean times. @Al I don’t disagree that there may be downward pressure on compensation, salary and otherwise, in the current market conditions.

I tend to think that your educational credentials (school, GPA, major, etc.) are key in getting you considered, getting "in the door". With other credentials equal, will a MBA from a "top school" be significantly more effective in getting you considered than an MBA from a "good school"? I don't know the answer to that question...just would muse that perhaps in lean times, a firm might be more inclinded to take a look at a "good school" candidate who might be available for $10K a year less salary than a "top school" candidate.
