whats got you second guessing? price? size? color?

Couple of things:

Polish/Sym is VG not EX.
Crown angle is not "ideal"
and frankly just the thought that is there anything better out there...

Here is a "Premium" H & A on GOG for a little less, I would go with a GOG Premium even though it is a SI2 before the JA stone:
Cut is KING and a MRB hides inclusions well:

Couple of things:

Polish/Sym is VG not EX. This does not matter.
Crown angle is not "ideal" Cut is about more than crown angles. I want to see an ideal scope for this one. It is on the border of being a nice 60/60 type but the proportions may or may not work given rounding that GIA uses.
and frankly just the thought that is there anything better out there...There is always something else... whether its better is up for debate and interpretation

Does that stone have a lab report? I only see the estimated grade attachment, I don't see a lab report. And no clarity plot either.

I was wondering the same. Also, i am always worried if SI would be eye clean. This is a ver important criteria for me.

There's no need to worry. If you're interested in something from GOG just ask them to upload (or send you) any information you need to make your decision, and they'll usually provide it. They have no problem pointing out inclusions and letting you know how visible they are (eg, what distance, angle, etc) since they want you to be satisfied with your purchase.

not sure how to evaluate if its a nice 60/60 type. Can you please comment based on idealscope?

The idealscope is decent. If the price is right, go for it.
