I've been lurking around here for a while, reading and learning and researching as much as I can.  I think I've got a pretty decent handle on things now (considering I've never bought a diamond before), but more advice and recommendations are always good.
I'm looking for a diamond for an engagement ring.  My budget is around $4000, but I could go up some for the right diamond.  From all of my research/learning, I know the cut is extremely important in how the diamond looks.  As such, that's the most important of the 4C's to me right now.  I think I'd like a color of H or better, though I (and maybe even J) could be considered, and as long as it's eye-clean, I don't have a problem with the clarity.  From my searching, it looks like I can get something in the 0.8x carat range, based on my budget.  If I could find something in the 0.9x or even 1.0 range, that'd be great, but I don't want to sacrifice the cut quality to get there.
Here are a few that I've found that look pretty good.  Any thoughts/preferences on these would be appreciated, or any other options out there.  Thanks.

Among those 4, I came upon the first one, also.

The last is not in house

The second is interesting...maybe conpare against the first.

For the third, maybe you don't need VS1.
