I posted earlier about getting a round brilliant for my girlfriend. However i've changed gears and now i'm searching for cushion cuts. I think i wanted the round when she always wanted a cushion, hahah. I've looked at so many cushions and i'm a little confused about selecting and what to look for. The round brilliants seemed pretty straight forward. Cushion Cuts are difficult. I have no idea what to look for.
Anyways my question is this. I was looking at the BGD Cushion cuts but noticed that the spread of their stones doesn't compare favorably to the carat of the stone. Do these two diamonds essentially have the same spread?

Face up will they appear the same size. $6,000.00 difference worth it?
If anyone could help me find a stone it be greatly appreciated. Cushion Cut, 1 carat or greater, 5.80 mm or greater spread, G color or greater, VS2 Clarity or better. My girlfriend doesn't like antique/old mine cuts like the August Vintage or Victor Canera Signature Cushion. $13,500 budget.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
