Just some thoughts: Both are very square. I like that #1 is already laser inscribed, but I realize that it is not a driving factor. Number 2 seems to be shallower and have a slightly lower table percentage (more similar as best I can tell to those in the Blue Nile signature collection), but both seem to fall in an acceptable range according to the Atlas Princess Cut chart on your site. http://diamonds.pricescope.com/fnc1.asp And before I get my lashing, I know that Blue Nile is a little more $ than some of the other sites, but I did make a purchase from them in the past and was impressed with there service though the sale and then through the subsequent return. That peace of mind is worth the little extra $ to me. Any thoughts and opinions will be greatly appreciated (I know this isn't a ton to go on). You run a great site here.
