 I think the varience was quite large, up to 1.0% differnce.  Dont know what that means other than maybe it is not as symetical but that is just my opinion. .

That is not large... you may want to look over the Sarin/OGI reports of a few H&As and see what the respective range looks like.

I don't think there are any oficial stats on this as is, but there must be a few dozen diamonds listed to check if you so wish.

This is the stone from niceice.com.  I almost bought it last week so hurry up, it is a nice stone.  Only thing that concerned me was the range of the pavillion angels and crown angles I think the varience was quite large, up to 1.0% differnce.  Dont know what that means other than maybe it is not as symetical but that is just my opinion.  It may make no difference.

Excluding extreme variance, as long as the pavilion and crown opposites average correctly it's fine (example, one pavilion angle is 40.9, its opposite is 40.7...  Average of 40.8 = just fine).
