Hi folks
The vendor I am working with has been very helpful, and sent me two videos comparing 3 cushions I am considering. I was initially looking at the 1.87, but she suggested two others to compare - a 1.82 and a 1.73.
I initially wanted the 1.87, but having watched the videos and the certificates, I am falling for the 1.73 . I think I also prefer the square shape over the rectangle, although I didn't care before. It appears brighter, with more sparkle than the 187, and seems whiter.
I'm just a layman, so I'm hoping some of you more experienced and knowledgable folks can give me your opinion!
