You might want to check this place.
 
What is the colour of that EC? Also, which EGL cert is it? EGL USA is probably fine but I''d avoid EGL Israel and the rest like the plague. They are notorious for being very lax in their grading.

Here''s stats that will help you get started:

Colour: H and better because fancies like ECs tend to show body colour. This is subjective to the wearer''s taste/tolerance level.
Clarity: VS2 and better. No point getting VVS because even with a VS, you can''t see a thing and I haven''t seen any eye clean SI1s.
Table: 65% and under to avoid a glassy look and for more fire
Depth: 68% and under to avoid having a smaller diameter diamond
Crown height: 10% and higher for more fire
Girdle: Avoid very thin and under, very thick and over to avoid chipping and hidden weight. An even medium girdle is very hard to find so don''t aim for one.
Polish: Very Good and better
Symmetry: Very Good and better

Also fancies like ECs need to be seen to gauge the steps. Never ever buy one sight unseen. Ask the vendor for a Sarin, ASET (or Idealscope) and at the very least, a magnified picture of the actual stone.
 
I''d pass frankly. EGL + too deep + large table + wonky symmetry = no for me.
 
eh. Keep looking, I think...
