Need to choose between two WF ACA stones

[Jjup18]

Hi, I'm looking for any advice on choosing between a couple of diamonds that I am considering:
#1 - https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3905127.htm
#2 - https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3571579.htm

Currently have #1 on reserve and going ahead with the purchase, but wanted to do a last minute check to see if I should reconsider.

#1 has the obvious benefit of better color and based on the images, a better VS2 than #2.
However, #2 is slightly larger, better crown %, smaller table, and of course cheaper.

I'm planning on putting the stone on a Tacori HT2545RD9 in platinum. I think #1 should have no issues with regard to the color, but unsure of #2.

Appreciate any input! Additional images of the stones are below:

Are you color sensitive? If yes, then go with the H. I can’t see the color difference so I would choose the bigger size and lower price. What ring size?

My gf is not necessarily color sensitive and her ring size is 5.

Is the clarity difference between the two basically negligible? Haven't seen assessed enough diamonds in-person to be able to tell based on these images.

I am nowhere near an expert.

I see the color difference. But I don’t mind the I. I prefer the arrow pattern on the H. Bit I like the size of the I!

Both of those are a great size for a size 5. I’m not knowledgeable enough to comment on your clarity question. Perhaps if @diamondseeker2006 or @whitewave are on PS today they can chime in.

Personally I'd go for the bigger (cheaper) stone. If you later wish to upgrade (color, clarity, or size) you only need to spend a dollar more (with whiteflash). Problem solved.

Do come back with pics. It'll be lovely (and enormous) whichever you chose!!!

I would probably go bigger...an "I" in an ACA will be very bright.

Thanks everyone! I didn't think about the upgrade program, but that's a great suggestion. Guess if the stone doesn't turn out great in color or clarity, I can swap it out for the better stone. Will just have to check that the setting can be fixed at a relatively low cost. Assuming it can since I probably won't be going up in size, but rather just the same or even smaller.

My hesitation in color was that from several persons I spoke to about AGS coloring, the general consensus seems to be that AGS is more lenient than GIA on color scores so I should think of the I-color AGS stone as really a J-color GIA stone. But the point on ACA being bright is definitely noted.

#1 is definitely better! Go with your first choice!
