What's the difference between the 6 prong solitare and the classic tiffany style half round? I know I know, I posted yesterday that I was set on my James Allen halo. I hope I don't get in trouble with you all for potentially changing my mind!! Today I discovered the Brian Gavin Blue collection and I think they look amazing. And, a newly engaged friend at work came in and I found myself blown away by her solitaire. I never considered myself a solitiare girl because I thought they looked too plain, but I'm changing my mind now. And I definitely like 6 prongs versus 4. I still love the halo, but I am telling you all, I am seriously OCD and detail oriented (and now picky since I have become a PSer!), so I feel like I may end up picking the halo apart and finding things I dislike about it, eventhough I know JA does good work. I have just read too many good things about BGD's work, diamonds, settings, customer service, etc not to consider this and ask you all about it.
Part of the intrigue of going solitiare with a Brian Gavin Blue is that I can put more money into the ROCK! I'd be getting yellow gold with white prongs (I am definitely warming up to this idea as opposed to all YG head to minimize the prong look). Looks like the 6 prong solitare at BGD is about $500 less than their classic tiffany style. I know that seems like a small difference to most people, but with our overall budget being just a little over $6,000, using that $500 toward the stone will make a difference to me! If I go with the 6 prong, it looks like I can get something like an AGS ideal 1.2-1.3 Blue K. They seem to look so white to me. If I went with the tiffany, I could get a 1.0 Blue K, and for me personally, this isn't "mind" big enough for me to put in a solitiare.
So my question is, is there a reason I'm not aware of to not go with their 6 prong solitiare? Is the tiffany half round that much better looking?? Any opinions on this idea in general?
ETA: Does BGD have a PS discount I should be aware of?

I appreciate all the help you all have given me so far and I know when I eventually have my dream ring I will be forever grateful!
