The 7ct J Si2 is priced at 85k before PS and wire discount. It has no fluor. AGS report with all "Excelent" (not "Ideals" which was a bit strange). The 7ct scores under 2 on the HCA

The 6ct Si2 is priced at 99k before discounts. Has medium blue flour. GIA report has G for symmetry and G for poslish.
The 6ct is not great but it's not a dog either (my own opinion). This was the stone that i'd had previously considered buying for recutting and was talked out it (good advice, Ps'ers). It doesn't have enough specs listed to run an HCA score but I do remember looking at the pics sent to me thatwhilst it wasn't top notch in the cut dept it wasn't a total write-off either.

I can't remember what I'd been told abt '"eye-cleaness" of either stone. Let's just for academic purposes, assume they're both eye-clean.
Which would you go for? My friend is not too fussed about cut, as long as it's not *too* badly cut, as long as its not too yelow (whatever her definition of yellow is, I "think" I have an idea but am not sure), and not full of obvious black spots. What she cares abt the most is size, not so much cut, but I think if something is obviously yellow and has huge boogers then it might not be a contender.
I on the other hand am a real cut nut, also quite colour sensitive though not fussy so much abt an si2 grading as long as i don;t see any obvious boger (sp?).
She may need me to give her my own opinion first.
What do you gals and girls think?
Appreciate yr help.
