Need help comparing before I go to the store

So here are the specs and list prices. I hope to be able to negotiate the pricing some when I go in, but any comments by someone with more experience would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! All are GIA certified princess cut. All have Good Polish and Good Symmetry.

The best of the five is the first one.
Second best would be the third or fifth one.
The other two have pretty large tables which take away brilliance.
There is a factor that would help. The crown height. If you can get that on those three, let us know and that will probably help.

The first one sounds better, but seeing them is allot more reliable than any guess by numbers, IMO.

1 1.22 H VS1 5.94x5.72x4.26 74.5 68 SlightlyThk-Thk $6951
nice enough... it could have been larger for the weight though

2 1.05 G VS1 5.62x5.57x4.02 72.2 73 Thin-Thk $6077
smaller table would be nice, but... why not actually.

3 1.25 H VS1 6.08x5.77x4.09 70.9 73 SlightlyThk-VeryThk $6847
I could easily pass on the very thinck girdle.

4 1.23 E VS2 6.00x5.70x4.13 72.6 76 Thk-ExtremeThk $7611
same about thick girdlle. Large table too

5 1.23 G VVS2 6.02x5.94x4.16 70.0 79 SlightlyThk-Thk $7606
same as previous. And VVS clarity doesn''t make allot of difference

All, IMO, of course.

F/G VS2 sounds like a more attractive price point. Baiscally, I would rather look for VS2-Si1 clarity and as high color as it gets rather than VS1, trying to get a decent amount of brilliance.

Sort of like this one
