which one did James Allen recommend?

JA said they were both great choices. Both are supposed to be eye clean. They stated the gemologist recommented stone#2. The idealscope images of stone2 are brighter. However, 2 of the sales reps stated they liked stone#1. Looking for some feedback and insight to help make my choice.

I'd choose #2 because my range for a table is 54-58 since I also like to see the crown. I also like the 75 lower girdle facets better (fatter facets).
