Can I make *another* suggestion?
Instead of arbitrarily deciding that the SI2 won't be eyeclean, why don't you call Whiteflash and ask them to tell you what they see? Talk to your vendor - he's there to be your eyes and to help you.
People get freaked by SI2 unnecessarily, and many mistakenly assume that they won't be eyeclean. Richard Sherwood is one of the highly respected appraisers here, and he's commented previously that most SI2 stones in the smaller grades (less than 1.5, for example) *are* usually eyeclean.
My point? My SI2 stone is COMPLETLEY eye-clean....and it's even bigger at 1.24! Jen just got an eyeclean SI2 stone, too (and I think it's even bigger than 1.25). If I had automatically passed this stone by just because it says SI2, I'd have missed a GREAT stone and a fantastic value. Getting this allowed me to stay within my personal comfort level on color (H or better).
If you talk to the vendor and he says it's not eyeclean, then I'd revert to the I colored stone.
