#1 seems way too expensive
#3 looks like the depth could be a little deep

I like #1, then #2, then #3. Or #1, then #3, then #2. But I like #1 best from the #s.

Still, they all look like fantastic choices!!!

Do you have IS images?

Can you go and look at them in person?  If so, just pick the one that looks the best to you.
 
Gee Q we're going to have to stop agreeing so much, I like #1 best form the numbers as well, but don't forget "inonothing"

Polish: Ideal
Symmetry: Ideal
Culet: Pointed
Girdle: 1.4-2.6
Fluorescence: None
Culet: Pointed

Crown Angle : 35.0°
Crown %: 15.2
Pavillion Angle : 40.8°
Pavillion %: 42.8
Lab Comments: None

HCA Score: 1.6-Excellent (WHEN USING ANGLES)

No problem. I just wanted to help by making a comparable suggestion. You'll definitely end up picking a winner though, because you obviously have great taste. CDN diamonds are very popular. I'm sure that you will be very pleased when you make your purchase. Good luck...

I have seen diamond #3-.776 cts stone. It is awesome, it is an eye clean sf1. i think i'll have to go see the other stones and compare. Do you think there is big diff between .728 and the .776?
