Assistance needed with ASET image for seleting one of 2 Diamonds

[austin135]

After conducting my research and viewing many of the threads on this forums, I have narrowed my search down to 2 diamonds, but have concerns regarding my first choice. I am hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction as to which diamond is better, or alternatively whether neither are good choices.

Diamond 1 (First Choice)
Carat Weight: 1.13
Cut: Excellent
Color: J
Clarity: SI1
Price($): $3,742
Lab Name: GIA
Depth: 60.60
Table: 59.00
Crown angle: 33.5
Pavilion angle: 40.8
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle: M-STK
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Strong
Ratio : 0.00
Measurements: 6.70x6.73x4.06
HCA of 1.3

There are minor inclusions but I received confirmation that they are not visible to the naked eye. There is a strong florescence, but I am hoping that since it is a J, that will make it appear more colorless. The actual image, Ideal-Scope, Aset Image, and Hearts and Arrows is attached.

Concern: The Aset image does not look similar to those I have viewed online so I am having a hard time comparing it to charts to determine if it acceptable. I am afraid that the white instead of blue means light leakage.

Diamond 2
Carat Weight: 1.02
Cut: Affinity
Color: J
Clarity: SI1
Price($): $3,874
Lab Name: GIA
Depth: 60.50
Table: 57
Crown angle: 33
Pavilion angle: 41
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Girdle: Thin to Medium
Culet: None
Fluorescence: Faint
Measurements: 6.53 x6.55 x3.96
HCA of 0.7

There are minor inclusions but also received confirmation that they are not visible to the naked eye. The DNA for the diamond is attached. These images seem more in line with what the charts show as acceptable.

While I would prefer diamond 1 given the bigger size and lower cost, the Aset Image has me worried. Please let me know your thoughts on which one I should go with, if any. Thank you in advance for your help, this forum has been a wealth of information and has already been very helpful.

Bump.

Nothing to comment on. The ASET looks very right to me.

White instead of blue means that the stone was back-lit for the shot - a random choice of photographic setup.

No brainer for me, #1, significantly bigger, cheaper. You have an H&A and idealscope (which looks great), no ASET scope (For diamond 1). Which image is concerning you? Can't see the certificate on diamond 1 but it appears to have crystal inclusions, ask regarding eyecleanliness and any haze from strong fl.

I second this...

I think the idealscope looks fine on the first stone.

Thank you so much for the comments. The lack of blue in the ASET image is what was concerning me, but Valeria101 eased that concern. The first is suppose to be eye clean without haze so I am going to go with it. Thanks again everyone.
