Thanks!

Ok, they all look great. If it were me, I'd probably go for #3. It's barely smaller than #1, and you save 1500 that can either go in your pocket or on the setting.

For the price, I agree that one is a great pick. I think the debate becomes if I want color or carat. If color, go with the F, if carat go with I-VS2. The difference even with the 2.3ct compared to the 2.1ct is .2mm, which is crazy small when you look at a ruler.
