I'm really wondering why you are going with an IF. You are paying for overkill in clairty. If you went with a VS you should be safe.

Here are some examples:

If you call JA they will evaluate up to 3 stones at a time to tell you which one is the best, they will also make sure they are eyeclean, Make sure you get the pricescope discount.

Here is one from GOG, you would have to call for pricescope price

Here are a couple from BGD, again you would have to call for pricescope price

In the long and the short of it, I would go down in color and clarity to get the best cut possible. If it is in the DEF range you are not going to see color, if it is in the vs catagories you should not see inclusions, although you can verify with vendor to make sure it is eyeclean. Cut is the most important thing, you will see that!
