Which stone should I choose?

Hi everyone,
I need some comments and inputs on these 3 stones which I am considering. Which is considered the ''ideal'' choice given that the prices are quite close? Size or quality? Thanks!

Honestly, I'd really look for a better blend of color/clarity to maximize your stone. Is there some constraint (cultural or otherwise) that is locking you into such high clarity/color?




Here's an alternate stone if you're open to considering a better blend:


.72, H, VS2 for $2446......

The proportions of this are SPOT on, and I'm sure DCD can provide the H&A images and idealscopes for you as well.




Here's a beautiful G, VS2, .71 for $2684.

If there is some reason, however, to stay with the three stones, then I'd choose the F, VS2 from GOG of the three.

The main constraint is that I am trying to keep within my budget of around $2000 +/- a little, getting a 0.5-0.6ct stone while not overly compromising on the color (F to H) and clarity (VVS2 to VS2).

Out of the three, I prefer the 0.56 F/VS 2 from GOG. It has very nice proportions, it is incredibly clean and has excellent BScope results. If I had to stay in the $2K exact zone, I'd go for the 0.59 H/VVS 2 Superbcert. It is really beautiful and crisp.
