anyone have experience buying SI1 online?

My BF and I are looking at diamonds tomorrow, but we''re still thinking about purchasing online. I feel pretty comfortable buying VS2 or better online, but an eye-clean SI1 would get us more in terms of carat. Does anyone know which types of inclusions are more visible to the naked eye?

As an example, these are some of the stones we''re looking at online:

I love the first one. The great thing about WF is that they can pull the stone for you and tell you in their opinion if it's eye clean. I bought an S11 stone from them for a pendant and it's 100% eye clean. You need to be sure what your definition of eye clean is. They explain their's on their website. Inclusions that are white, are what you want. You're off to a great start, good luck!!!!

Yeah, the first one was my favorite as well. Thanks!
