Help me pick a princess cut please

I've been lurking here for a few weeks as a research. Such a wealth of knowledge here! Just wanted to thank everyone for the amazing amount of information and assistance.

I would like to have some opinions as to which stone you would pick based from an optics standpoint. Below are pics of the four stones I'm considering. They are all between 1.7 - 1.8, G - H, VS2 and AGS0 ideal cut.

#4

I have a preference for 2 or 1, but all of them are lovely. You can't make a wrong choice.

Thanks for the feedback!

The symmetry of #2 appeals the most to me.

I keep going back and forth. The thing I was uncertain about with #2 is on the four corners of the table. Are those clear spots "light leakage?"

I've been leaning towards #1 but it's $3,000 more. So just trying to see if it's really worth that much more. It's slightly larger (1.8 vs 1.724) and a G color. All of the others are H. Those factors are contributing to the higher price.

you need contrast. so the corners under the table of two are fine. there is green. And unless there is a significant spread increase with 1 I wouldn't pay 4000 more.

Ok. That's good to know. Thanks again
