.6 E v/s .8 I please vote: Color or Size

[HappyAnniversary]

oh no, really I hope I didn''t promise my last post would be my last post cos I found another diamond (and I almost had my .808 I si2 picked out to buy tomorrow). I''m not saying where or giving too much info for fear of diamond snatchers LOL, but it is around .6 ish E , scores well on HCA (all excellent VG spread) and is about $300 less than the .8, size is 5.4 mm ish. so here''s the rundown:

.808 I SI2 $2460 5.95mm
.6 E SI1 $2100 5.4 mm

Both from popular vendors, both good HCA scores, all those pesky crown angles etc in the good range, I think the pretty quotient would be similar. What''s your vote? Higher color, bigger AND more money is not an option LOL.

.8 for sure - 5.4 v. 5.95 - you''ll see a visible difference in size, and the color will still be wonderful!

.8 I!!! It willl look substantially larger than the other stone and I color in this size still looks very white. No brainer!!!
