I'd love some help from the pros comparing and deciding between these two stones - Both are lab stones from their top-of-the-line collection - "Whiteflash Precision Lab" and "Brian Gavin Premium Lab"

The biggest obvious difference is 2.08 carat vs 2.5 carat and thus the price difference. Right now BG has a sale with a promo code so it actually works out to be almost the same cost - I don't need a 2.5 (it might even be too big), but since it's almost the same cost, just considering it.
The most important thing for me is cut, light performance, fire, and brilliance - both stones look top-notch based on their videos and advanced aset / hearts & arrows imagery.
A smaller difference that may or may not be worth calling out is that the BG stone is CVD grown vs Whiteflash is HPHT - I'm aware of the technical differences comparing these growth methods and online there are people on both sides of the fence in terms of which is better. Do folks here factor HPHT vs CVD into their decision at all?
Thank you!
