Help in choosing diamond

[wattocs]

Hi,

Which one of these 2 diamonds would you choose?

http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/cushion-cut/?CaratFrom=2.00&CaratTo=15.00&Clarity=VS2,VS1,VVS2,SI1&PriceFrom=200&PriceTo=999000&Sort=Price%20asc%20,DefaultOrder&TabSelected=3&advancedParameter=pn&showAdvanced=show&DiamondID=353625,362249&Polish=&Symmetry=&Lab=&Flour=&DepthFrom=45.0&DepthTo=80.0&TableFrom=50.0&TableTo=83.0

The second diamond is bigger at 2.65ct K-color while the other one is 2.02ct I-color.

In terms of the appearance, I like the 2.02ct one, but it's smaller. What's giving me a hard time in choosing is which one would be the best in terms of value as they are at the same price.

My thoughts are that the 2.02ct only looks better if they are side by side. But if the 2.65ct is worn just by itself, would it be the better value since its bigger?

Have you asked their gemologist to recommend one?

Only the 2.02 came up for me...not seeing the other one.

I don't see either, please post the links to them separately.

Sorry about that,

Here's the 2.65, I had it put on hold,

I couldn't find the 2.02 link anymore, it may have been sold already.

What are your thoughts for the 2.65?

A rep from jamesallen said that the stone is surprisingly white for a K color. I don't know if he meant that or he's just saying what I want to hear.

I like the 2.65. I think the warmer color is pretty, and I like the cut of the stone.
