First of all, this website has been immensely helpful, so thanks for that. I have a choice of 4 diamonds that all seem to be really well-performing based on my knowledge, so I'm curious if any stick out as better (or worse) than the others based on the more detailed specs and a better ability to analyze supplementary images. They are all from enchanted diamonds, GIA certified, and similarly priced. (HCA = Holloway Cut Advisor)
Option 1 (https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/R130-EXU3CE)
1.30 Ct. I-VS2

Option 3 (https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/Round/GIA-Certified-1-36-Carat-I-Color-VS1-Clarity-Diamond-86EMST)
1.36 Ct. I-VS1

Option 4 (https://enchanteddiamonds.com/diamonds/view/Round/GIA-Certified-1-34-Carat-I-Color-VS1-Clarity-Diamond-4GSP8R)
1.34 Ct. I-VS1
Cut score: 100.0
Fluor: None

HCA = 1.0
Options 2 and 4 do not have any supplementary images (checked with sales person), and I have requested that options 1-3 be checked that the color was not over-graded due to the fluorescence. I do not mind any fluorescence given the color ratings. Option 1 is out of the 34-35 CA, but it actually performed best with the HCA. Options 2 was shown to me by a user in another thread and is obviously intriguing due to the 1.42ct, although I do notice the inclusion in the near-center of the table (sentiments echoed by other users who commented on that post). I'm not sure how noticeable this will be without a microscope..
At first I only searched for cut scores of 100.0, but after reading up on their website I realized this is a score calculated by an in-house algorithm, so it could be taken with a grain of salt. I searched White Flash, Good Old Gold, and James Allen for similar specs but they either did not have any, or they were out of my price range of 7400.
