I am no expert but have a stone with proportions very similar to the first one and have been told I've picked good. Though the inclusions are under the table of your first choice, VVS2 should mean it's eye-clean.
The second one may also be good, depends on the rounding of the crown/pavilion angles.

Still, by the specs of your choices it sounds like a lot of money to be buying blind.

My choice by numbers alone:

Although as you know, without images, we cannot really know which is the better diamond.

Thank you for the replies.

That cloud on the table bugs me in the 1.32. Although i know i wont be able to see it. The other one has inclusions on the outside and it is only $200 difference in price.

They both line up to heartsandarrow dna and do great on the HCA score.

Would you say that they are pretty close against each other based off of numbers only?

They are pretty close but I would say the first one will have a bit more fire going on. It has a higher crown and smaller table.

By no means will you be able to see any inclusions in a VVS2 stone. Nor will they affect the performance of said stone.

Alright, I think I will go with the first one then. I appreciate the inputs, it was a tough decision for me!
