Help me to pick one diamond from these two

[madimalo]

Hello all, I've been learning and researching for sometime, and narrowed down to two diamonds from James Allen:

Diamond 1:

Carat weight:0.72
Certificate:GIA
Color:G
Shape: Round
Clarity: VVS1
Cut: Excellent
Depth %:61.70
Girdle: Medium - Slightly Thick
Table %:55.00
Culet:None
Polish:Excellent
Crown ∠: 34.50
Symmetry:Excellent
Crown %:0.16
Fluorescence:None
Pavilion ∠:40.80
L/W/D (mm): 5.77*5.75*3.56
Pavilion %: 0.43

HCA score: 1.3
Pice: $3950

Diamond 2:

Carat weight:0.71
Certificate:AGS
Color:H
Shape: Round
Clarity: VS1
Cut: Ideal
Depth %:61.70
Girdle: Thin - Slightly Thick
Table %:55.10
Culetointed
Polish:Ideal
Crown ∠: 34.20
Symmetry:Ideal
Crown %:15.30
Fluorescence:None
Pavilion ∠:40.80
L/W/D (mm): 5.73*5.75*3.54
Pavilion %: 43.10

HCA score: 1.1
Pice: $3150

I have requested the IS images and reviews for both diamonds and a third one (not listed here). The feedback is very positive, here are some direct quotes:

"I am happy to let you know that Diamond 1 ($3,950) has the best brilliance, fire, sparkle and the best overall light performance with excellent balance and symmetry! It faces up visibly whitest of the three and is eye-clean."

"Diamond 2 ($3,150) also has excellent overall brilliance and light return with great fire and sparkle throughout! It also faces up the largest of the three and is white and eye-clean."

At this point, I'm having hard time to decide which one to go with. For $800 difference, would you pick 1 over 2 or vice versa?

I would certainly appreciate any advice or comments. Thanks!

Both have awesome numbers and Idealscopes. Both will look amazing and are good choices.

The answer lies mostly with how much that price difference means to you. Only you can make that call.

Both look good. Personally, I'd put the 800$ towards the setting or wedding band, and go with #2.
