Hey everyone, I'm trying to choose between two diamonds. I've had the first one reserved for a while but recently stumbled onto another one that might be better. Both diamonds are from Blue Nile. I only have a picture of one right now but trying to get the pic of the second diamond right now. Let me know your thoughts!

The first diamond looks to be a little cleaner, especially under the table but they are both rated VS1... I'm assuming the second diamond is eye clean as well. They are both HCA of 1.4. Diamond #1 is excellent on Fire & Scintillation and Very Good on Brightness and Spread. Diamond #2 however is excellent in everything except Scintillation, where it's Very Good. Still... same HCA scores... Diamond #1 seems to have a livelier HCA graph, but #2 is wider/shallower cut, and therefore, much larger looking for only $300 more. I don't know which one to pick. I'm hoping to have a picture of #2 so I can decide visually. For now, what's everyone's thoughts?
Thanks everyone for your help!
