I chose 3 diamonds at Jamesallen.com to be sent for Sarin and ASET which I just got back today. I'm inexperienced with this and then with the info stating that their ASET camera has issues is adding more confusion to the problem. If someone could please help me with interpreting this information and picking a diamond I'd greatly appreciate it(my to e fiancé will too she just doesn't know it yet) This is the email that they sent me.
"It has come to our attention that the ASET Camera that we use (which was manufactured by and purchased from AGS Laboratories) will show ‘green’ in areas that should be ‘red’ for diamonds with tall crown heights or larger carat weights. James Allen is currently exploring other camera options, but in the meantime recommends that the feedback provided by our expert gemologists be given more weight than the ASET images themselves.

Our gemologist found diamond 184959 to be your best option, saying that it is a bright and lively emerald cut. It's completely eye clean and icy white in color. Its ASET image makes it appear that it would be rather dark in the center, but the gemologist has confirmed that it appears more like its video, with facets that alternate lighting up. When the diamond is in motion it gives off a nice sparkle.

Diamond 231670 is also eye clean and has a nice icy white "E" color. It has nice light performance and ranks second to diamond 184959. It faces the largest of the group and the gemologist really likes its rectangular outline.

Strangely, diamond 204795 has the best ASET image, but in person it has a little more darkness to it, making it your third brightest option. It's eye clean and icy white, but I would consider one of your other options."
