Help!: ASET, IS, H&A image comparison (2 Canadian diamond)

[smoothmoose]

Help fellow members and experts. I'm trying to decide on the following two stones. Both are 1.02 ct, G, VS2, GIA-XXX, 57 table. The other specs are similar too, but here are the GIA certs:

Stone 1 (HCA=1.6):

Stone 2 (HCA=1):
https://myapps.gia.edu/ReportCheckPortal/getReportData.do?&reportno=1132824222&weight=1.02#
+$100 more expensive (negligable)

Here are the ASET, IS, H&A pics Stone 1:

Here are some observations I see. Due note it appears the Stone 1 photos are more out of focus:

Stone 1: ASET - green patch on the crown around 2 o'clock - dealer thinks is the feather in the pavilion that is causing this
Stone 1: Hearts are slightly more off alignment.
Stone 1: Hearts tip and gap, look to be more sharp (is this better?) even though the photo is out of focus.

I am leaning towards Stone 2 because of the ASET issue in stone 1 and the fact it does not have any inclusions in table region.

What are opinions of others?

Thanks!

I think both look great. Are they from the same vendor?

Same vendor ID Jewelry in NYC. He brought one virtual stone (#1) that I found on Bluenile and found another one (#2) for to compare against.

I will be getting it shipped here in Canada where I'm working with local jewelry designer to get it set.

IDJ has really really good prices on their settings. Would you consider getting it set with them?

I did look at IDJ settings and nothing really stood out and was similar to what I had in mind. I have already meet with my local designer and saw some samples from his studio in person and just felt a very good rapport with him. My design is in my head and still in flux but I feel he could take my input and leverage his own ideas and design skill to create a truly unique and beautiful ring. As I said, it's still in my head and i still need to get the diamond. But I'll post pics up as the custom design progresses.

#2, even though they both would be beautiful stones

#2 is a tad smaller however, I think the cut is a smidge better than the first

I think I am going with #2. #2 is actually a tad larger at 6.52x6.5 vs. 6.5x6.46 for #1(but more shallow, but that's a ok)
