help with 2.5 ct oval diamond

[ovaldiamonds]

Hello, I'm very new to this and was wondering if the community had any thoughts about the below diamond. From the research I've done it seems like a pretty good value for the size/ specs. I'm worried about it being eye clean, but I'll be able to see it in person before purchasing. Are there any other considerations? I know to beware the bowtie, but I can't really see if it exhibits a strong bowtie

Fwiw significant other has expressed that size is the most important. Looking to spend up to 20k on the diamond

Thanks!

I would say it has better than average (or I should say better than typical) light return IMO. Looks to have a nice crown and the table does not
look overly large. I think it has possibilities. Cant tell you if its eye-clean or not. It probably would be for my 50 something-year-old eyes but
if you are young and eagle-eyed you may see something. Glad you get to see it in person. Let us know what you think!

Do you have the GIA report you can post?

I've also been looking at this one:

Even though it's SI2 it seems to look just as clean as the SI1. Any thoughts?

For that amount of money you should be able to find a VS1-2 and maintain size

Please be aware that the I color may show a bit more around the ends.
