I'm having a very tough time deciding between these two diamonds (unfortunately no idealscope images). Any help appreciated - thanks!

Diamond 1
1.09ct
G
VS2
Depth: 60.2, Table: 58, Crown: 34, Pavilion: 40.6
GIA ex, ex, ex
0.7 HCA score (picture attached, the red seems to be deeper than option 2 - why is that?)

GIA report shows several twinning wisps and mentions surface graining

Diamond 2
1.10ct
G
VS1
Depth: 59.6, Table: 59, Crown: 33, Pavilion: 40.8
GIA ex, ex, ex
1.1 HCA score (picture attached - not sure why the red area doesn't seem as 'deep' of a red as option 1?)
GIA Report: https://p0.a-ritani.com/uploads/diamonds/certificate/pdf/2124701/D-3Q9FJ8.pdf
GIA report looks very clean

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated - thanks!
 
Is the 33 degree crown on Diamond 2 too shallow?
 
They both look good on paper. How do the pictures look?

Have you considered looking at VS2 G and increasing size?
