Need help with best value

In my opinion yes they appear better. If you buy the diamond, B2C inspect it and can send you the images before shipping. Post the images here / if you don't like them, you can get a full refund. With 8882567 as it's a 36/40.6 you need an image really.
They are very good deals being I colour especially, which is safer than a J (people are much less likely to notice tint in an I). I'd say they were a better deal than the first one that was lost (if they have nice images as well).
If it was my money I would get 8882567 as I would like the fire of a higher crown diamond with broad arrows; and the image looks very crisp.
8796279 also looks nice, and is better on paper (not a guarantee for better real life performance) but I like the look of 8882567 better, realistically either would probably be fine and the difference very small.
Your diamond that you selected has a lower crown angle (33) so that usually translates in less fire (although maybe slightly brighter). Additionally I'm not sure on symmetry of the diamond based on the photo so would probably be the riskiest purchase to get the best value high performing diamond, based on the information we have.
edit: Just to say all would be risk free because of the nice refund policy of b2c but I mean to safe further steps and looking.

Lovely images ^ditto.
It really is a steal at that price with the colour clarity and cut. You haven't compromised anything for getting a great price. The cut is among of best of GIA excellents available. I'm recently very much appreciating the value B2C offer to squeeze as much as you can from every dollar.
I know you will be wondering if it is as good a deal as the one you wanted before, as you were upset by this, and only wanted for the best for your SO. This more recent one is only 0.1mm smaller which is not noticeable with the naked eye. Both next to each other you would not be able to tell. They are a slightly different character in sparkle, (I like the smaller table and higher crown of this IVS2 more) and the colour 'I' is generally better accepted than a colour J where most untrained eyes can see tint to whatever degree.
I think this one is a better deal.
