I need help choosing between these two

[sandblaster]

Hello,

This is my first post but I'm looking for opinions. In particular, would the $2400 price difference be worth the upgrade?

I'm set on a lab grown diamond and I'm set on James Allen because I found a setting I like. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get them to provide idealscope images so I'm basing this on their images, HCA score, and the IGI certs.

I believe the former (2.53 F) is a slightly better cut but it's interesting because the latter (2.6ct G) is within a "super ideal" range which has me somewhat confused. Please help.

HCA Score 0.9; All Excellent

Lab-Created 2.53 Carat round diamond

This 2.53 carat Lab-Created round diamond F color vs1 clarity has Ideal proportions and a diamond grading report from IGI

HCA Score 1.4; Light Return and Fire Excellent; Scintillation and Spread: Very Good

Lab-Created 2.60 Carat round diamond

This 2.6 carat Lab-Created round diamond G color vs1 clarity has Ideal proportions and a diamond grading report from IGI

Edit: Sorry if this is the wrong place for lab diamond questions

Technically we cant discuss lab stones here. You can ask moderators to move this question to the 'man made diamonds' section.
