How do AGS0s compare?

[SylviaF]

Is there a specific cut pattern or any other traits that make a BGD signature or Whiteflash ACA superior to a generic AGS0 stone found at James Allen?

If I'm searching James Allen for an AGS0 with a small table to maximize fire, not too deep, etc. will that turn up stones that are at par with the superior ideals at BGD and Whiteflash?

I think there are several things but right off the bat, BGD and WF ACAs are H&As.

Edit ...you can look at WF's Expert Selections. A lot are AGS000 but miss being an ACA for some reason.

Be careful not all expert selection are created equal. Especially the 60/60's. There was one on there yesterday with a 32 crown angle!
