Help me DECIDE between 3 BN SIG RB, 1 ct. (color vs clarity)

[danpz]

I've decided I want to go with a GIA Blue Nile Signature Ideal cut round brilliant solitaire. I'm having a difficult time with trade-offs between color (G, H, I) and clarity (VS1, VS2, SI1). The diagrams of these SI1s look pretty clean, but whichever diamond I buy, I have arranged to have an independent jeweler look at with me during the return period. Would you be willing to recommend which YOU would choose BETWEEN these THREE? Thanks in advance, so much!!

1.
1.01 ct, G, SI1, medium blue fluorescence
Table 57%, Depth 61.3%
Crown angle 33.5%, Pavilion angle 41.0%

Don't pay for something you literally can't see. TO ME color trumps clarity. You can see color. As long as it's eye clean (and structurally sound) I'm fine with it regardless of what clarity grade it is.
