I advise eliminating OECs. The primary reason is that she wants size. OECs usually face up smaller than Excellent cut round brilliants due to higher crowns and greater depth. Not to mention, OEC prices are high now. Stones below J will show a visible tint, as well. I think you are on the right track with I-J VS2-SI1 stones.
I have found a stone that is slightly outside the parameters I normally use, but the stone is huge and a decent excellent cut diamond, just not as perfect as a superideal cut. But since this is much closer to your pricepoint and better than most at that size and price, I'd recommend this stone for you.
Very similar stone just to show you the price variation and why the price above is good.
