My girlfriend picked out a diamond and retailer that she loves.

She loves the cut, the size, and the warmer color. And this diamond doesn't have any visible flaws - we looked at it in the store. She recommended that I check here to make me feel more confident before purchasing. Using the search tool I cannot find any comps for a 3 carat N vs2 with a vintage cut.
I see, however, that I can purchase a 3.62 J vs2 modern cushion for the same price - about $31k. I also see that modern cushions between 3.0 to 3.1 carat, L to N color, and vs1 to vs2 clarity range in price from $12k to $15k. So it seems I would be paying double the price for this truly amazing cut, including the chunky facets. I am concerned about the lack of market data, and I do not want to overpay.
Is there a very small market for these kind of diamonds? With modern technology, shouldn’t cut be the least expensive of the four Cs? Can anyone point me to better comps?
Any advice or opinions on this diamond or other similar diamonds would be appreciated.
