WF will readily admit that they leave some direct light white light return behind for what they see as a better balanced diamond.
They could lenthen the lgf out and pick up some direct light return but they feel it would comprimise the balance of their diamonds.
They score generaly h,vh,h on the b-scope.
The gog classics go for white light return and score
vh,vh,h on the b-scope by virtue of very strong direct light return ability.
The differences between the camps reaches holy war fighting status from time to time around here over which is the best way.
8* goes for broad flashes of fire and scores about the same as the ACA on the b-scope but by different means. With totaly different looking pictures.
the cut by infinity in general from the few examples iv seen b-scope scores for will be in the vh,vh,h range and do it in a totaly different way than the GOG classic by generating a ton of small intense flashes of fire and white light.
Each camp feels they have the best formula and each cuts for a different look.
Which is best?
Which ever one preferes the look of.
I could type out a list of how they look different in indirect light where the differences are even larger than in direct light but i think my point is made.
But at the end of the day all are "ideal"
edit> no problem on the terms I just didnt want anyone getting confused. There are a lot of people reading this forum.
