I wouldn't be, not impressed with what they have found for you, they have provided you with less comparative information . That ASET they provided has shadows on the tips(is not well taken) no idea what is going on on both ends. They haven't provided a video comparison either only a pitch about an 8 main pavilion which while it helps prevent a bowtie says nothing about the brightness of the stone. I suspect the brightness of that stone is not as good as some of the ones you have already seen but that is a guess based on incomplete information from the images.
Sad reality, Ovals aren't cut for maximum brilliance and brightness and ones that hover around 3ct even less so. For spending this much money I think you should fly to New York and visit a bunch of vendors and make the choice in person. This is one case where comparing still images is just not going to help you pick amongst these candidates, none of them so far will be a clear winner. Maybe consider some rectangular cushions.
