Here are the specs of the 2 diamonds...

Diamond #1:

Cut: GIA Excellent
Color: G
Carat: 1.28
Clarity: VS2

Table: 58
Depth: 61.8

Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Culet: None

Crown Angle: 35 degrees
Pavilion Angle: 41.2 degrees


Diamond #2:

Cut: GIA Excellent
Color: G
Carat: 1.28
Clarity: SI1

Table: 55
Depth: 60.6

Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
Fluorescence: None
Culet: Small

Crown Angle: 34 degrees
Pavilion Angle: 40.8 degrees

Both of these diamonds are essentially the exact same price. The SI1 has been checked out by Blue Nile and is deemed to be "eye clean", and I was told the VS2 had been checked (although not entirely necessary since it is a VS2) and it is "eye clean" as well. The only real difference between the 2 diamonds is the clarity, table and depth %, and crown and pavilion angles. Please help!! I am having such a hard time trying to decide!! Is it a complete toss up?? Or is one definitely going to look and appear different than the other to the human eye?? I am not as concerned with all the lab tests that are done of the diamonds, only with how they look to my girlfriend's unaided eyes.
 
You forgot the diameter measurements. That is always important to look at even though these two are probably close.
 
Diamond #1 is 6.92 - 6.94 x 4.28 mm

Diamond #2 is 7.03 - 7.07 x 4.27 mm
