I will be buying an e-ring for my girlfriend within the next month. I have been lurking around this site for a while soaking up all of the knowledge I can in preparation of this big purchase. I am trying to find the biggest diamond I can without sacrificing on quality. The very top end of my budget is $4100 for the diamond. I have been using the "Cut Advisor" Search to look at my options. My question to the board is this ... In your opinion, would i be better of buying a .75 ct. ACA diamond like the one below

or a 1ct "Expert Selection" diamond like the one below (assuming its eye clean)

Would I even be able to tell the difference btw the ACA and Expert Selection? Feel free to post any other diamonds that fit into my limits. Thank you all for your help in advance in such an important decision.
