Hello. My ideal scopes finally came in and I narrowed it down to two so I wanted to get opinions on which diamond is best. One is from Ritani and the other is from James Allen. The diamond from Ritani is over $700 cheaper than the one from James Allen but the James Allen one looks to be the stronger performer. THe table on the one from James Allen though is larger which I know doesn't bode well for fire. Any opinions and feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
Ritani:
They were able to provide hearts and arrows photos for this particular diamond. I was concerned with the feather on the table but they confirmed it had no effect on the performance of the diamond and faced up eye clean.

Here is the feedback from the gemologist: I am pleased to inform you that diamond face’s up whitest of the set due to its true “G” color. It has great brilliance and fire that spreads throughout the entirety of the diamond. This is a gorgeous diamond! It has no structural or durability issues. The gemologist indicated that there is a small cloud under the table, however this does not have any impact on the eye cleanliness of this diamond.
