How do I decide between things like this...

[stoberto]

Without knowing the prices on these two stones, with the information given, which would you choose (I know that I''d need to see them, and this is merely opinion). I just am having a hard time deciding between specific stones that look great to me, so I''m curious to know what others think. Thanks!

here is the table, i hope it''s big enough

Well they''re both smokin'' stones. And they have nearly identical numbers. I bet you get a lot of ''can''t go wrong with either'' responses. Big difference I see is that one has a painted girlde while the other does not. Which is better will likely be personal prefference.

It''s also woth noting that the photos were not taken through the same reflector...I''m pretty sure.

Any reason you are looking at such a high clarity? My opinion would be to go down to a great SI1 and go up in size

 

[stoberto]

I''m not necessarily going to get those specifically, but I was just finding two similar ones I like. I might stick to VS2 just for my head''s sake though. Yes they were taken through different reflectors, and I need to read up on painted girdles ''cause I don''t know much about that. I figured I might just get "can''t go wrong either way" I just thought I''d ask to get ideas of what smarter people than me look for. Thanks for your responses, I appreciate it...

if you can''t see both in person, go with the second. the first is a "love it or hate it" kind of thing.
