looks good, did you take look around on PS to see some of the other vendors.

yes, i looked at GoG, Whiteflash, and James Allen.

I couldn't find anything that really matched this diamond in terms of price/quality.

This one is very close:

But for .05 carats more, i'll have to pay $700 more at a lower clarity grade, and a lower brightness on the brilliantscope reports. Also i'm no expert but it seemed that there was more white (leakage) on the GoG diamond image. Would this correlate to the lower brightness score on the brilliantscope?
