You can't tell much about fancy shapes by the numbers. Have ERD take some ASET images and photographs.

You cannot tell just by the numbers, and I also would not pay the premium for that quality of clarity. I would drop down to VS1-VS2 and get a bigger diamond.

I've requested images of the actual diamonds from ERD. I tried a new search lowering the clarity and nothing came back in a larger carat in the same price range, maybe I'm doing something wrong. If you find any please feel free to post.

You have to look at cushions that are in stock and have pictures such as ERD and Good Old Gold, or work with one of them to call in some stones for you. I personally prefer Good Old Gold because they do light performance testing and videos, but you just can't pick out a cushion diamond by looking at numbers. There is maybe one really good one in 20 (just an example...they are not easy to find).
