Help with decision med Florescence????

[TalldrinkH2o]

Hello
I am between two identically cut 3 ct cushions.

One is E vs1 excellent polish & sym with Med flor

The other a little deeper and slightly thicker girdle but the same face up size and is G VS2 - excellent polish&sym - but no Floresense.

They are basically the same price.
Which is a better stone? The higher grade with med flor or the lower without flor.

And what is the ideal depth for a cushion?

Thanks

Do you have any pictures?

No. Numbers tell you nothing abotu cushions.

You should NEVER buy a cushion without images ... and IMO, never without an ASET image.

SO we can't tell you anything about the cushions from the information you have posted.

No I don't have any pictures. I am deciding which stone should be brought in for me to see in person to compare with stones that have already been brought in. Since they are exactly the same dimensions face up and only slightly different in depth I just wanted to pick the better stone of the two to see- Instead of bringing in both. I am wondering the role the med flor plays on the value and if it makes the g vs2 actually better than the e vs1?

Also I am a little confused because initially stones have to be chosen from the internet or a database just by numbers most often sight unseen. There are at least 40 stones that fit my general criteria and all can't be brought in. I need some general guidance on what to look for and whats most important - in general and In this case if med flor is bringing down an e vs1's value below a g vs2.

I really need to be selective I can't ask my jeweler to bring too many more stones in.

Thank you for your help.

med blue will bring down the value of a E/VS1 by 10-15 percent compared to another E/VS1 stone with no florescence but will not make it cheaper than a G/VS2 unless due to another factor and a big factor ... cut most likely or perhaps its EGL certified.
