How about this stone?

I have been lurking and searching for the last six months, trying to learn as much as possible.  It is easy to get caught up in all of the different aspects of size, cut, color, clarity, symmetry, flouresence, polish, girdle, culet, different certs, brillance/fire/idealscope, spread, brillance, fire, scintillation, leakage, computer models, angle measurement, H&A... not to mention the diamond market and prices for various stones.

 

I remember reading that the loose diamond market is a perfect market economy: Given a stone's parameters, there is one given price for that stone.  Although it sounds good in theory, it doesn't match with reality at all.  First of all, one of the key requirements for a market economy is low barrier to entry, which is most definitely not the case in the diamond industry.  The second important point is that every seller has a different way of weighing different aspects of a stone.  It is true that the price moreorless varies with the major, universally-acknowledged indicators of color, clarity, and carat weight.  But other aspects like cut are more subjective.  I've seen a 20% price difference between two AGS0-cut stones with moreorless equivalent specs from the same seller!  There were aspects to the individual stones that made them worth different amounts in the eyes of the seller.  So it can take a long time and a lot of effort to find the best deal on a stone with your parameters.

 

Anyway, enough with the rant!  I think I've finally narrowed down my search to one stone.  I've asked the person who will be wearing it what are the most important criteria, and she said "size, size, and size".  Originally I was thinking 1.3c G-VS2, but now I'm looking at 2.04 J-SI2!

Here is (my) analysis of the cut:

 

And here is the actual idealscope image:

 

Finally, here is the image of the diamond showing the inclusions:

There are a few clouds here and there, along with a line of needles under the crown facets on the right side.

 

Any comments?  Do you think this stone would work in a platinum tiffany 6-prong?  My girlfriends ring size is 2 3/4, so this stone should look pretty monsterous. (Not as big as the 3ct on a 2.5 ring size that someone just posted, but I don't have a 3ct budget .
