Best 1.00 carat diamond for ~$7000 budget?

[DwightHowardz]

Hello Pricescope!

I'm looking for the following type of diamond, given the minimum specifications:

Cut: Ideal (H&A preferred)
Color: G
Clarity: VS2
Carat: Greater than 1.0 and less than 1.1 (the focus is on clarity, color, and then carat)

My budget is around $7000 for the diamond. If I can get a real nice diamond for less, that'd be great. I don't think my girlfriend is interested in increasing the carat size (or so she tells me).

So far I found these on jamesallen.com:

What do you suggest? I'm willing to spend a bit more if something's justifiably better. Would perhaps an "F" or "E" color be worth the extra $500-$800?

G VS2 is just nice.

I like 1, 5 and 6.
