1.7ct F or 2ct H


You cannot go wrong with any ACA. The Expert Selection options are usually really good as well, but ACA is the best. It's not overpriced at all, considering the level of service and amazing upgrade policies. And these stones (the ACAs at least) will face up whiter compared to others because of the amazing cut--people find that to be true a lot on these boards (same with the crafted by infinity stones).
If you can't decide, have WF pull your top choices and take pics/videos for you.
 
PS. my 2 favorites are the 1.72 F VS2 and the 1.71 F VS2. I think VS1 is overkill in these stones (personally).
 
I quite like the Expert Selection you posted:

Not quite sure why it didn't get ACA (maybe the crown is too high) but it looks beautiful in the video.

But when it comes down to stones that are so close on paper, I would choose by asking a WF rep to put them all in a single video with office lighting and see which one catches your eye. The spotlighting videos on WF, while pretty, are pretty darn close to useless for showing you how a stone will perform IRL. A video shot under office lighting will definitely be more informative in terms of letting you know how the stones behave "in the wild."

I would also ask WF to compare the color of the stones you're interested in and tell you which is the closest to an E. There's a pretty big price difference between F and G because F is in the "colorless" range, so I personally wouldn't want to spend the "colorless" premium on an F that was right on the border of being a G.
