(have read in a very old posting that one should look for a centered diamond for light performance) Can anyone enlighten me on these? Thank you!

However, how high is the percentage that such off center diamonds will turn out pretty? Is there a general guide line how much off would definitely turn out to be dead? How high are the chances of getting well centered diamonds? Your comment will be much appreciated.
