Advice on Which to Pick

[keysercade]

Alright,
I've been a lurker for a while, trying to learn as much as I can so here goes.
I am looking to purchase as 1.3-1.8 ct round diamond. I would like to stay under $10k, but can push it for something truly outstanding/difference making. After reading through many threads and asking for advice from everyone around me I am focusing on trying to find a well cut, H/I, VS2-SI1, indifferent on fluorescence as long as it isn't strong/cloudy. I don't need a perfect stone, just something "eye-clean"... but want to get the best balance of all of these that I can. Thank you all in advance.

I've probably forgotten something but here are the three I have at the top right now:

1) http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/diamond_detail.php?id=1449838
2) http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/diamond_detail.php?id=1452512
3) http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/diamond_detail.php?id=1271877

Does one stand out above the rest? Anyone see some alternatives I should look at?

Cheers!

I wouldn't pick the first one because of the table size and the very good polish rating. Is it possible to get pictures of the second and third diamonds? Please don't buy any SI1 stone without looking at pictures. Some SI1s are not eye-clean.

What about the table size concerns you? It still got a fairly high (or low) HCA score... what table characteristics should I be looking for? I have requested the images and will post as soon as I can. Thank you for your help!

Measurements that will usually land you in or near ideal cut territory:

table: 54-57 (58 is good)

depth: 60-62.3

crown angle: 34-35

pavilion angle: 40.6-41.0

So here are the stats on each... also open to anyone finding alternatives. Thanks!

1) HCA 1.4 (1.2), Excellent cut, I, VS2
T - 56%
D - 61.5%
C - 35.5
P - 40.6

2) HCA 0.8, Excellent cut, I, SI1
T - 57%
D - 60.5%
C - 32.5
P - 41.0

3) HCA 1.4, Excellent cut, H, VS2
T - 59%
D - 60%
C - 33.5
P - 41.0

Any help/thoughts appreciated!

Just to add, heard back and the first and third are 100% eye-clean, seems like the third is the choice... anyone have reasons not to?
Cheers.
