confused and losing hope, looking for advice on a loose diamond

[Shnookums]

Hello everyone! Thanks to pricescope my husband got me a beautiful ring 10 years ago. We are now looking for an upgrade and I am so confused. I had found 3 diamonds and then had posted to reddit actually, thinking the research and specs we've done research on the 3 options would have been good. However everyone said they were terrible diamonds. I do not know who to trust or which specs we need to be focusing on anymore. So what we are looking for is:

2 ct-2.5 would even go to 3 ct if price is right
Color - I was told to seek D,E,F (but is G color ok?)
Clarity: VS1 and up
Cut: Excellent to Ideal (again looking for input as well)

I so appreciate the more educated peeps on here and look forward to some input. Thanks so much in advance

Do you have a budget so the amazing sleuths here can search for you?

I have two options for you under $2200, but recommended stones often get snatched up by lurkers, so let me know when you're online and ready to put one on hold or purchase.

I ran only the first one, but their proportions are almost identical, so the HCA should be the same on the second one.

I really don't think they'll be visible to the naked eye. It's a beautiful diamond. Even if you're not ready to purchase, I'd at least put it on hold so no one else can get it.

If it helps I have a 4 carat VS2 and you can’t see the inclusions.
