Do these prices seem reasonable or should I look for others?

Is it worth going to a VS2 and then go from a G to an H?

Any opinons would be appreciated.

Yes, the prices are reasonable.

G,H, VS2, SI1 are nice places to be, especially buying sight unseen. And sometimes we just have to take what we can get.

As for your choices, the first sounds nice, but since we don''t have pics, I can''t say much more than it has potential. The WF and GOG stones are both very nice, and you couldn''t go wrong with either one.

The JA stone is very nice too. Honestly, you couldn''t go wrong with any of these.
