Can you please help me decide between these two RBCs?

[diamondhunter111]

I am looking at buying one of these two diamonds. I have gone for fairly high clarity due to the fact that I want to get the stone set locally and don't want any durability issues (feathers near the girdle etc) even though I know this is rare it would break my heart. Neither one stands out as an overall superior diamond (from a light performance point of view) to me and i'm really bad at making decisions! Could I get some opinions please?

Thanks.

Both spectacular! Hard to choose but I think I would go for size!

I would probably go for the 0.789. It's a better color, slightly larger, has a smaller table, and costs a little less. It's not AGS 000 like the other one, but scores pretty well at 1.5 HCA.

I was heading towards the 0.798ct one too but then was worried i'd be missing out on light performance as perhaps overall beauty as it isn't ACA. I'm a bit confused as to what I can rely on as far as HCA scores etc when AGS graded symmetry is only very good.

DH111,

Very Good symmetry is only about surface issues such as facet lines, off-center from table to culet or twist from the crown to the pavilion. As a rule, things causing VG are invisible to the human eye. Whatever caused the AGS2 here had no impact on the Ideal performance grade, no impact in the photos provided and would not change the HCA score.
