Regular Guy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 5,327 Last Post: 11/24/2009 Member Since: 7/7/2004	aha, Just some ideas. By the way, I'm guessing you didn't get much of a response (so far), because you presented all such great choices, and no one was feeling very sorry for you. Perhaps only clear to eliminate the last one, based on girdle thickness, primarily. I take it that your last idealscope image applies to option (b)? (BTW, I'm also just learning about posting images...how did you get them all included in the post?) Also, you don't post a diameter for item (b), but you've got everything else! And, though you record the first two as 000, I don't know why they wouldn't all be. This being the case, any of a - d would probably be lovely. Maybe next, eliminate b, based on the idealscope image, and presuming it's the last IS image in your post (others please check me)! Maybe I'd pick c. By a small margin, it may be the smallest, but the price point is moderate, "other" characteristics (D, VVS2) uniquely high among these 5...and although I'm only beginning to learn about these idealscope images...with most except perhaps (b) and (e) being exceptional, (c) may have a lead. Ideally, look at a, c and d & compare. The look of the IS image of (a) is also exceptional, but perhaps a bit different than (c)...with (a) somehow, from what I've read, more subtle (though incredible!)? Then again, D is uniquely a bit larger, and perhaps without respect to that, also uniquely has an additional "excellent" on it's HCA score for spread...and then again, you're also paying a bit more for that one. I really think all three of those would probably be fabulous. Oops, did some final checking on price...I'm guessing these ones I (mostly you) picked out are from WF. This being the case...it does influence me towards option (a) now, since I think that one's been identified by them as special, and "A Cut Above." Also, I see options c or d are not either A Cut Above nor Expert Selection. You might ask them of advantages they'd describe, if any, of (a) over (c), or (d), and that could be helpful for you as well. You never know. They may tell you they woke up on the funny side of the bed when they were originally graded, and now would change it! Alternately, you could do well to value not only what they'll say, which could be informative, but the fact that they've already selected out one over the other 2. Let us know how it goes!
