ask Jon for his opinion..

There is quite a difference in size, so whether one size or the other would be more desired would be one major factor. The other major factor would be how eyeclean each stone is. If it is being placed in a setting with open sides, then I'd want to know if they are eyeclean from the sides as well as the top. But both look like great performers!

If #1 is eye-clean and has lifetime policy, I'd go for it.

Thanks, I am leaning towards the first. It seems worth it for the extra $1k.
