Is this ASET image problematic?

As I said before, the aset is not problematic and the stone was given AGS000 which indicates ideal light performance. Love the tiny table still!
It will be helpful for other posters to see the stone, so please post the JA link.
 
HCA of 2.3 because the high crown angle makes it slightly deeper than the HCA tool prefers, but tiny table and high crown should give lots of fire, if I understand it correctly, and the cut and clarity look spot-on :)

@flyingpig is a wise man and might be able to advise in more detail on this.

Personally, I can't see a reason not to go for it, it looks like an excellent choice. (Although I don't know the price and how it compares to other options.)
 
I am also calling @rockysalamander to help here :) I think that she will love the tiny table!

I do so love a small table. While this is slightly below the 54% table often used here, it is well balanced by the pavilion angle -- which is supported by the AGS0 for cut. That table gives this such a nice profile that harkens to an old cut, but with the performance and cut pattern of a modern round. I love that.

What I note is that I can't get all the arrows "on" at the same time. The north arrow seems to be cut at a slightly different angle. In person, I think this is a very minor thing and you'd never notice it. But, I wanted to give a full assessment.

This stone solves the arrows difference, but it has more minor clarity issues showing at 4'oclock.

This has great angles, slightly more variation in pavilion facets, but still great performance with all arrows lighting up.

But, for the price, I'd personally look seriously at this WF stone if in budget (I did not read all your threads to figure out your top budget). Its a bit smaller, but avoids any of these cut variations.

This would be a super-ideal options that is around $14500 keeps the size as large as possible and I dropped the clarity but its very clean.

EDITED TO ADD: I am sensitive to those that say not everyone wants or needs a super-ideal. I'm recommending these simply as an option as in your case, you can get to the same or nearly the same specs within your budget yet gain the surety about performance (and generous upgrade).

Thanks. I asked WF about the last stone and they said it's not eyeclean though :(

All 8 arrows not being on at the same time is a video artefact. It's clearly capable of it, look at the idealscope. With the right head on view, and amount of obstruction there would be beautiful 8 arrows we're used to seeing.
 
Within your 15k budget at WF, how about this one?

But, your first JA stone is still a good choice. The question is really how important is the upgrade policy? JA will require an upgrade to be 2x the price, while JA allows an upgrade at any price (>$1).

What setting are you thinking of? Sometimes, that helps clarify a vendor preference.

I still prefer the first JA stone better.. not crazy at all about the crystal table inclusions on the ACA..
