Hi everyone, thank you for all the great input you have provided during my lengthy search for the perfect center stone.I hope I found a winner but please be honest. I have seen this in store lighting and it looked great.

Please provide your input on this GIA stone (Cert 6147438680) which cost 7900 (original budget was 7k!)
1.21 CT (6.85 - 6.89 x 4.25mm),
GIA Ex Cut, Ex Polish, VG symm (I had previously only been looking at triple X - what is your thoughts on VG symm with Ex Cut and Polish)
G Color
SI2 Clarity (very clean for Si2) (see plot on GIA cert)
No Fluorescense
HCA score 1.1 (Ex, Ex, Ex, Vg).
table 54%
Depth 61.8%
Crown 33.5
Pav 41

My budget has always been 7k for stone (stone in questions is 900 over budget) and I was looking for GIA 1-1.12 carat. Ex, Ex, Ex, F-G, SI1 (stone in question is Si2 but a very clean Si2) that scores great on HCA. I finally realized a larger stone looks much better in the ring which is a wider ring and the model we saw had a 1.25 ct, which I actually thought was a little big looking so I ideally wanted something around 6.6-6.8mm.

I am a little hesitant because its over budget and I havent been looking in this range but its also larger then what I have been looking at. I have been looking at many stores and online and prefer local as I like to see what I am paying big bucks for first. Let me know what you think of this stone.
 
Do you have a picture?
