It is an unusual combo - low color top clarity.
You will see I colour in +2ct stones in many lighting situations.
G VS2 will look better and cost less.
but you may have your reasons.
Without ideal-scope images its hard to know more but the numbers all work.

Thanks for the input. The high clarity if driven by cultural reasons, more important than color for the future fiance. I was looking at H VVS1s in the same range, and also some G VVS2's. If she only cared about eye clean, I could save some money and get a whiter stone

I think stone 2 or 3 (if idealscope is good) would be my choice. The only reason I would want 3 is for the bump in color. If they
were all I color I would probably stick to stone 2 (without pictures I dont see much reason to go up in price). They are all over 8mm.

I'm not a big fan of the lower crown on 1 but if size is your top priority then...
