Help Pick a Princess

[princessseeker]

Which one of the following two would you pick? Why? The crown/pavilion numbers vary a lot (I think) between the two. What about thin girdle vs thin to medium in a princess? They are both within $150 of each other around $2500. I''ll post price after a few responses. Thanks!

the second stone is graded ags1, instead of ags0 like the first one. julie was wondering what made the second one a ''1''.
it looks like since the symmetry was ''excellent'' instead of ''ideal'' the finish was graded a ''1'' giving the overall grade of ''1''
if the ''light performance'' grade is still a ''0'' it is very much in contention with the first stone. either would be very nice. i would be tempted by the ''h'' color of the second one but really, i think it is a toss up.
have you seen either of them?

Re: the second diamond.

Light performance is 1. Proportion and finish are 0.

if you have not seen either of these in person, i would say go with the ags0.
