I''d add the refractive power of huge crowned and deep ''antique style'' cushions to this... they might not be the brightest stones in the bunch, but they can hang with the best (and even edge them out) in the rainbow department. Of course I''ve heard dispersion is not a positive quality in a diamond or something like but I disagree.
btw the low dispersion comes from the old 60/60 camp modern ideals are more balanced.
What I have a problem with is trying to make the RB fit in every performance category a specialty cut is a much better option.
The RB can''t compete because it was designed to be brilliant and it brings into play too many other compromises to force it into a role it isn''t suited to fill.
