1.6 RB -which one would you choose

[casegwen]

O.k. I know I will catch alot of slack for this, but just as a basis in starting my search, let''s assume there are two 1.6 RB Ideal cut diamonds. Everything is the exact same except:

1) G color SI1 (eyeclean)
2) H color Vs1


Which would you choose, why?

G SI1

If I can''t see the inclusions without a loupe, I''d rather have a whiter diamond. Even though the difference between G and H in a well-cut stone is something most people won''t notice, for the same money, I''d rather have something I might see with my own naked eyes than something I physically can''t see without magnification.

H/si1 and go bigger

If a is eyeclean then I''d go for this one. Or do as storm suggested and get b and go a bit bigger by getting a H/SI1 (eyeclean)

Thanks. I suspect the gf feels the same way. I guess as long as you can''t tell just by looking, bigger is better.
Thank you. The site is so helpful
