Hi All,
Again, many thanks for the wealth of info available on these boards. I have never partaken in as much interesting and somewhat emotive reading in all my life!
So I think I have finally whittled it down and would love some 'professional' opinions on the following stones if possible!?
I made this a poll, so you don't need to go in depth with your analysis, you good people have spent enough of your valuable time on noobs like me

Brief overview of the 'lucky' lady lol:
~ She is not overly showy or 'blingy'.
~ She has fairly 'normal' sized hands and fingers i.e. not long and thin or short and stubby etc.
~ She doesn't know too much about diamonds (though I am no doubt underestimating her on that point!).
~ She deserves the best I can possibly pick!
I think for these reasons that picking a higher quality stone over size is the right way to go for my situation.
Now, I know there are some extreme views on D - G colour differences etc, and emotionally I would love to be able to think 'thats a D stone, they dont come any whiter than that' (based on my viewing a G and D over here and definitely being able to see the difference), however the general consensus from a plethora of threads seem to believe that the extra cost may not be worth it, the G is still white anyway!
I would love the D stone, however with the 20% duty it would push me over my anticipated budget (circa $15k), it is probably do'able...not part of the original plan...but do'able!
Appreciate any thoughts you may have! Thanks!
