any good?

Hi, I'm considering purchasing this first diamond and was wondering what you experts think...

1.32 ct, 7.15 x 7.18 x 4.24 mm
H, VS1, GIA XXX
table% = 60, depth% = 59.2, crown angle = 32.5, pav angle = 41.0, no cutlet, medium to medium girdle
Strong Blue fluoro

versus

a whiteflash ACA 1.217 ct, 6.83 x 6.86, 4.23 mm
I, VS2, AGS 0
table% = 56.3, depth% = 61.7, crown angle = 34.9, pav angle = 40.8, no cutlet, thin to medium faceted girdle
no fluoro

versus

a BGD Hearts and Arrow 1.223 ct, 6.88 x 6.9 x 4.23
I, VS2, AGS 0
56.3 61.5 34.8 40.9, no cutlet, medium girdle
no fluoro

I'm partial to the first diamond because it's better color and clarity. More importantly, it's a bigger size for its carat and better "value". However, due to the last bit it does have a larger table than "ideal" and shallower crown angle, but scored fine on HCA. There aren't any ideal scope or ASET pictures.

I appreciate any help or advice!

I would pick whichever is cheaper between the ACA and the BG

Bigger does not always equal better. And Cut is key to a diamonds beauty, not color and clarity so much.

Go with either of the last two, it's a toss up.

That's not to say the first wouldn't be pretty, but the other two are a tad "safer" on the numbers. Either one will be beautiful.

I'd agree with Ellen and Niel.
