Comparing Two Stones

[leeklight1]

Hi all,

I got some great help on this forum earlier in the month looking at a couple of stones and picking out what seemed like the best one - all from BGD.

The one that was picked out was a 1.014 H SI1 stone:

However, this week BGD released a new batch of stones - with some seeming a bit cheaper price wise - and I'm now seriously considering this one for about $400 less:

Could any of you lend your experience as to whether I have any reason to consider the first one despite the higher price?

If both are eye-clean, I'm just not sure if the inclusions on the 2nd are worse in any way or even if the measurements between both vary in any noticeable way. I did run the numbers through the HCA and the 1st came out to 1.2 and the 2nd came out to 1.5.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Prefer the new stone 1.006c. Better hearts image IMO.

The hearts did all seem to match up better for the 1.006.

Sometimes I find it hard looking at the images and I get confused because I like the clarity and brightness of some photos, but I know that's not what I'm looking for...
