I think the 1 ct I SI1 I posted is a better choice.
+1, it may be a little more than the other I that you are looking at, but don't forget the PS discount. That ought to bring it under $5k.
My main concern on the I you are looking at (and someone please correct me if there's no grounds for this concern) is possible obstruction due to the shallow pavilion an shallow-ish crown combination (34/40.2). I'm wondering if that's why it looks so dark in the video. I'd ask the gemologist about it. I'm not sure that's something an idealscope would reveal.
you shouldn't need to waste an idealscope request on the one the rep suggested. It's H/A and already has one posted in the link on the upper right of the stone.
