different setups - top is better by a whisker - both not bad - way better than average
In order to get a real idea of the diamond's optical potentials, Aset tilts will allow significantly more information which is certainly missing it the static faceup.
Understanding ASET signatures in many fancy cut diamonds requires more experience than translating an ASET map of a round brilliant.
Rounds allow us to think a bit more simplistically - red light return very good, green light return good, white leakage bad.
Coming from that place it is easy to think both ovals might have a bit too much leakage and thus appear watery or lack some brilliance. But interestingly, certain types of leakage in certain facet arrangements like "crushed ice" can actually create positive contrast. Conversely, bright red areas can sometimes create light patterns that can be a little distracting in real life.
