Any advice greatly appreciated

After reading the forum for a while, it has made the decision process more difficult. Please let me know which of the following would be the best one to get. They are all different, #1 and #2 are eye clean. I contacted the vendor on the 3rd one and was told that you can only barely catch a glimpse of the little white inclusion in the table from about 4 inches.... so which one would you pick?

Okay, I answered you below but I did not know the status of the inclusions of the 1.4 stone. Because I like good clarity, I''d probably personally choose the 1.20 H VS1. But I also might send for the 1.4 stone just to see if I could handle the inclusions because it is a very nice size!

I used to think I was a clarity nut - until I got some stones in and looked at them! It''s probably my 43 year old eyes, but I just had an SI2 that was perfectly eye-clean to me! If you can see things that''s different. But eye-clean from 4inches is pretty good! I can''t even focus at 4 inches!

So for me I would go for the SI2 cos it''s bigger, LOL. I guess you might need to see for yourself though... SOrry I haven''t really helped have I? LOL

I like #2 and #3. I like #3 the best, although I think you will have to see the diamond to see if the inclusion will bother you. If not, that would be my pick.

I''ll repost my choices, the system had a hiccup and deleted it.

2 and 3 are both great. 1.4 is a rather rare and very nice size, but as others said, you need to find out if it''s eye clean.
