I'm no asscher expert, but just chiming to say I like the stop sign outline of the 3rd asscher. I'm going to take a backseat and wait to learn more when Storm sees this thread.

Don't like the IS on any of them. Third one has the nicest octagonal shape and better depth and the IS looks better than the rest. But still... don't like the IS. Windmills are also too bludgy for me.
Just me.

1st one is the best performer of the 3 but the windmills are kinda small.
If you like that style its a good one.

second one is blah

The real picture is missing on the 3rd, so im reserving comment but so far it looks good.

What do mean by "blah"?

Jonathan at GOG put together a video comparison of the three stones for me - both he and my gf prefer number 2.

Number 3 turned out to be the least favorite for everyone in this comparison despite its good stats - it had way too many dark areas in both diffuse and spot lighting.

I happen to *like* the photo of #2 .... more than #1 or #3. It''s the style I prefer.

Me too!!!

Reminds me of the one I bought from Jonathon.

aset for the first one

aset for number 2, and shows why I said blah the pics show the same thing very small area of light return center.

#3
Reserving judgement due to the blue V center area, wanted another take on it with a real picture which has a different amount of head shadow.

the lightscope shows it not being an issue so the regular picture would be the next step.
