Absolutely gorgeous. Great ASET and great looking diamond. ACA's, along with Brain Gavin signatures are set it and forget it diamonds - you know you are getting a great stone. Do you need an F? F is a great color, but in princess cuts that are cut to this level you (and your significant) may not be able to tell the difference in a G/H - see in person to confirm. Also, with AGS certified diamonds (and the vendors that cut for AGS) you lose some size as they cut super deep. It is MUCH harder to find a well cut GIA, however, I recommend contacting Good Old Gold to try and see if they can find you one (if size is important - i.e., maximizing face up size). If so, they are wonderful and may be able to help maximize your budget to get the best size for the dollar spent.

If you stick with what you have you will most certainly be happy as well. I just like to provide an alternative position for folks that are looking for princess cuts. My biggest problem with vendors that cut for AGS grades (i.e., Whiteflash, Brian Gavin etc.) is that you lose size and could have a diamond that faces up a bit smaller than a well cut GIA (which as I said above - is EXTREMELY hard to find). As others will echo never buy without (i) real pics/video, (ii) ASET, (iii) Idealscope (some say for round only, however, I like for princess), and (iv) a person you trust on the other end of the computer. For me that was Good Old Gold. Having said that, Yoni Ressler from Eternity by Yoni was also incredibly knowledgeable and wonderful in my search process.

Best of luck!
