Following on from another thread, I am thinking I would prefer an ABR/OEC to a MRB. I have found these two on goodoldgold and they are on hold for me while I get some opinions. I have been told the I1 inclusion is likely prongable. I was not keen on very warm colours for a MRB but I think the M in the AVR would be OK and I much prefer the faceting in the middle of the stone (not sure what that's called but it is more flowery than the G. So while I prefer the colour of the G (I think) I prefer the facets of the M. They can send me a video of the M in natural light on Monday. Whatever I get, it'll be going in a simple white gold solitaires with rose gold and yellow gold stacking bands.

I also was sent these OEC links by mydiamondzone on eBay but I really can't tell anything from these pictures. Thoughts from experts in these style of cuts would be appreciated.
