Engagement 2.70 ct round diamond. What do you think? (ASET, idealscope and HA images included)

Hi everyone!
Long time pricescope stalker but finally made the plunge to make an account and post and give back to the community that is truly making the hunt for my diamond very meaningful

I wanted to post some pictures of the diamond including the ASET and idealscope and ask for your honest opinion on the diamond that I am most likely going to get.

We are paying $14000 for this diamond. The setting will be Rose gold, so we got to compromise on the color.

I was hoping to get a cut quality akin to ACA from WF, however could not due to budget constraints (I really want a diamond greater than 2.5ct) . I am looking for the most ideal cut I could find with my budget of ~15k

Depth: 61.7%
Table: 58%
Slightly thick
Culet: None
crown angle: 35.0
Pav: 40.8*
star %: 50%
Lower half: 80%
Ct 2.70 M VS1 triple ex No fluorescence

Thank you! Let me know what you think! If all checks out, I will be back with pictures of my new ring, and my experience with one of the pricescope recommended vendors!!

The images are very nice! I know you're looking to sacrifice on color, but have you seen an M in person? It will be very warm, especially in a MRB. I tend to prefer lower colors in antique stones over MRBs but others like it just fine!

Thanks For the input! It thankfully looks not as warm as I thought! And over a rose gold setting I didn't see it being a problem. Will post pictures of it once it is set!

What do y'all think of the cut? I'm still quite new to diamond buying so I would really appreciate input regarding this!

We wanted an ACA WF diamond but sadly the size I wanted is our of our budget. We did what we can to find one of good cut quality locally!

It's a very nice stone, definitely a top GIA XXX, and should be a great performer. No, it's not an ACA or a perfect H&A (there are clefts in the hearts, for example) but that doesn't mean it won't be beautiful.
