Expert Advice Please!

I am buying my first ever diamond and I think I found one that falls in my price range and standards of quality. I think it is eye clean as it is VS2, but am worried about a minor inclusion in the center of the table. If anyone could explain how the ideal-scope images look as well that would be greatly appreciated as I have a rudimentary understanding on these. Here are some of the specs. Thank you for your help and input it is so greatly appreciated.

Good IS image with even red saturation edge to edge.

That cloud/crystal under the table might be visible from certain hewing angles. I am guessing that the stone is from JA based off the images. If so, you may want to ask their gemologist (or the jeweller you are purchasing from if not JA) to check for eye clean status of the stone.

Crown angle is a little lower than i’d like (for GIA graded stones would prefer to see 34.5), but the IS looks good so I can ignore that.
