With the help earlier on here I am able to eliminate some choices and now I have come across another 2 stones and would like to know what you experts think.
My original choice is the Round Brilliant #1: 1.3 – E – VS2 – Triple EX – (HCA 1.5) – $14760
#2: 1.43 – E – VS2 – Triple EX – (HCA1.1) – $17480
#3: 1.50 – F – VS2 – Tripe EX – (HCA 1.6) –$ 17800
These are specs of the 3 stones

I really want something looks like a 1.5 stone. With my budget, these are all the closest I can get.
These are from JA so I couldn’t able to view them in person, that’s one thing I don’t like about online purchase, but in return I get to save the tax and getting a better stone than B&M store.
There seems quite a lot of inclusions on the 1.5, should I be concerned? How about the other 2 stones? The 1.3 seems quite fine to me, but being a novice myself I am not sure.
If I get #1 I can get a pretty nice setting; while #2 and #3 I can only get the solitaire. I don’t know how much really bigger it looks on my finger, is it worth the $3000 extra? My ring size is probably 5.5. How much difference will it make?
From what I heard the setting also affect its sparkles. I like this setting

Do you guys think it will diminish the beauty of the stone?
