However, EGL is rather consistent, as proved by http://grading.pricescope.com/ ...

Nebula,
I don''t know enough to discuss EGL-SA and I''ve never heard of the other firm. Perhaps others have dealt with them and will care to comment.
I would hesitate to buy from that dealer in any case. It looks as if you are required to buy the diamond, sight unseen and in advance, based entirely based upon the data included in these reports. It looks rather like you never get the opportunity to examine either the diamond or actual ring beyond a computer model during the sales session. Perhaps they are better in person and the website doesn’t properly describe their service but I would avoid them unless they have a more substantive program available.
Read through the tutorials at the top of the page under knowledge. Compare what you read there with what you read on the dealer site. If you find important discrepancies, look into why the advice is different.
