I normally recommend people on a budget check out BN specifically because they don't have store fronts or do all the extra images that drive the price up. There's nothing wrong with the diamonds - and if there's a 'big black mark somewhere on the front' I'll be more than surprised. BN isn't a rip off - they run a HUGE market and in recent years have surpassed Tiffany as the largest diamond retailer. I've found their service to be very good and very above board. Although they don't do ASETs, they WILL tell you if a stone is or isn't eye clean, but I've found - in the numerous SI1 stones I've bought from them - that they were all eye clean.
I've been buying diamonds for decades now, and I've bought literally dozens of stones from BN. I use other vendors as well - a couple of the well known vendors on PS to be specific - but BN is always my first port of call as their prices are so much lower and good stats normally give you a good stone.
I suspect if you bought this stone you'd love it. Worst comes to worst, you can always return it. The sales people are very good, however, and will pass on to you any information they have about any stone in their inventory.
As for returning stones, out of the dozens I've bought, I've returned 2 - one because it was too white (!) and one because I didn't think it performed the way I wanted it to. They're pretty good odds, given how much money I've saved.
Anyway, all that to say - worth taking a look.
