2 carat MRB reset

[Shoney]

Hey all. I posted a few days ago but think it got lost in the transition, as searching for my original post yields nada.
So. I am looking to reset a yummy warm M color modern round brilliant stone for a right hand ring. The current setting is a simple yellow gold Tiffany-style which no longer suits my purpose.
Last Saturday I tried on a few rings, and to my surprise really like the halo look on my hand. Am going for something blingy, but not cocktail-ish as I want to wear it every day. Leaning towards a cushion-shaped double halo and split shank.
The out-of-state jeweler from whom I originally bought the diamond has done a CAD based on a lot of emailing back and forth, which is attached. The price tag is just under $2500. This one is a single halo.
The jeweler I visited Saturday found the double halo, split shank Henri Daussi I went nuts over would only be $3100. The HD setting is soooo drool-worthy, and felt very nice on my hand.
Finally, I've seen a few settings on the James Allen website which also appeal and frankly are a bit more within budget. I just got divorced so funds are unfortunately a major factor here, and I do realize that to many the price differences are negligible, but this is my present reality.
Here is the JA setting which struck me:

Any feedback would be most welcome.

I've always been a bit iffy about JAs pave but I think their double halo for the price looks pretty nice.
You do realize its going to be a pretty big setting (since you have a 2 carat stone...probably not
an issue unless you have tiny fingers).

I did post the other day that I think your halo in your CADs is too square...it needs to have a little bit
more roundedness to the halo to flow a little nicer (IMO).

tyty333- Sorry I missed your reply to my op.
Ring size is 6, so not a tiny finger.
Trying to avoid both the cocktail and e-ring looks....feels like a fine line to walk.
Actually found one of my fave PS rings and sent it to the jeweler, he confirmed that's exactly what it would look like irl. Will ask about rounding out the edges a bit.
The JA setting seems like it might be...clunky? Too much metal? Not sure how to put it.
