Had some false starts, budget and spec changes, but I've finally got the list down to six possibles. If you could take a look at them and give me your thoughts. Trying to get it down to 3 or 4 (not sure what JA's limit is) to put them on hold and get the ASETs. Cut is most important, followed by color(I or higher) and carat (.8 or greater), with color slightly edging out carat. Clarity is last, just wanting it to be eye-clean at around ~6-10 inches when in the setting.

Thank you so much for your help in advance!
For those that are interested, it's going into a setting similar to this:

In the picture it's a wrap over a tapered solitaire that I found.
My girlfriend originally saw this at helzberg and really loved it sitting over the tapered solitaire she had picked out:
http://www.helzberg.com/product/1-5ct+tw+diamond+solitaire+ring+wrap+1666267.do?sortby=ourPicks
Being as she has small fingers (4.75) she likes the daintiness/thinness of the ring and likes that the channel sides surrounding the side diamonds are thin as well. She also really loves that it tapers towards the center and the semi-three-stone look, but the two side stones are smaller than I think the usual 3 stone settings use as she doesn't want the two side stones to take attention away from the main one.
I'm looking into having a setting custom made locally so that it's not a wrap soldered to a solitaire, but I'm short on time as she changed her mind on things and I'm down to a little over 4 weeks from when I'd like to propose so helzberg may be the only option. Luckily that's where she saw it lol and liked it so much.
