Help me choose/ find a stone please :)

Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster.
Can you please help me with choosing a stone?

I've been browsing JA for weeks, and have also been in talks with some jewellers.
One of which has recommended this stone, and insists it will be eye clean.
I'm unsure about the inclusion right in the middle of the stone.
Is it good value for money?

I am looking for:
RB
Preferably 1.7+ carat
G or H colour
SI1 or SI2 is fine as long as it is eye clean
Excellent cut, symmetry & polish.
The stone in the link above is probably my absolute maximum price.
(~$16,000 USD).

Any insight will be very much appreciated!

That looks like a beautiful stone. I am not an expert by any standards, but as a fellow hunter, I can assure you that you have come to the right place to get the answers that you need. There are so many helpful folks here who are ready to assist you.

Thanks for your reply MarlonN! I'm not sure about the inclusion in the middle of the stone. I feel that it's not eye clean because it's right under the table.

I would suggest you look at these 3 stones:

and then talk to Whiteflash and ask if they are Eye Clean or not?

Remember these images are really blown up (20x)...Shrink the stone down to 1x and see if you can see it. Doesnt mean it will be
eye-clean but I think it may have a good chance.
