Help - opinion needed incl. ASET images

[EU_Diamond_Noob]

Hi all, I'm a first-time poster long time reader and I'm currently looking for an engagement ring with a princess cut diamond.
I already had some appointments with different jeweler and now I found/limited my selection to two stones which look good from my non-expert perspective.

Both princess-cut diamonds come with a GIA certificate and have a 0.8-carat weight. The difference between both is the color E vs H as well as the clarity VS1 vs VVS2 and clarity characteristics.

Since unfortunately, I can not see any noteworthy difference between the two ASET images and the 360% images also appear the same to me, I would be very happy about your expert opinion.

Thank you for all the help, I sincerely appreciate it!

Both are hiding some weight in the thick+ girdles but over all they are well cut.
Your right cut wise its 6 of one and a half dozen of the other.

I can definitely see the difference in color... If cut is very similar, I would definitely go for the E... it will be icy white and amazing!

From the aset I sort of like the second stone better (they are close though). Second one seems like it has a little more red through the center.
From the videos I cant tell the difference except by color.

As a tradesperson I can neither criticize nor recommend another vendors diamond. But I can say that the ASET signatures on both stones show very symmetrical patterning, which is indicative of a high level of craftsmanship.

Many thanks for your feedback and recommendations, it seems like I would choose option 2 because of (minimal) less weight in girdles, higher color grade, and less inclusions despite VS1 clarity grade.
