Help! 2 almost identical stones, which one to pick?

[Stephen5813]

Hey everyone, I''ve been lurking around the forums for a couple months now, and I''ve learned so much. I''ve narrowed my choices down to two stones which weigh in around .81-.82 ct from GOG. One doesn''t have pics on the site but I requested them via email. I''ll post those later. Here are the stats

Diamond #1
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/5228/
This one has star facets of 56 and lower halves of 76

Diamond #2
http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/I297024/
This one has star facets of 54 and lower halves of 74
There also must be a typo on the site because the AGS report lists the table as 56.7%, not 56%

The price is also within $100, so that''s not a factor at all.
Thanks for the input!

P.S. My name isn''t actually Stephen, just in case the GF stumbles upon this site.

Welcome Stephen!

The first looks great and I am sure the second will be an excellent diamond too, post the images when you get them then we can take a look. If you are unsure, contact Jon at GOG and he can possibly send additonal photos or perhaps do a comparison video for you.

ETA- images look great.

Update. As per the recommendation of the folks at GOG, I decided to go with diamond #1. Now onto the quest for the perfect setting. Thinking of going for the Mark Morrell petite torchiere. Any recs? My budget for a setting is around 2K
