Hi all! I''ve been lurking here for quite a while and am SO glad I found this site. After doing a lot of research (mainly on PS) my BF and I have started the process of creating a custom e-ring and band from Whiteflash. (A design inspired by partly by a Niwaka design seen online. I''m terribly excited!)
I much prefer a petite design and smallish (less than 1 ct), good quality diamonds. We are about to put a deposit down to start the CAD process and the only thing left to be decided is the stone. (I should probably mention we are looking at round solitaires in a semi-bezel style, with the band being about 2mm in width.)
Perhaps this sounds silly, but we are stuck between two stones that are VERY similar in most aspects that I can tell. I''m really not sure where to go from here and I was hoping you very, very knowledgeable people can give me some pointers
I thought all I need to know was the 4 C''s...now there are all sorts of aspects of diamonds that I''m totally clueless about. I would appreciate any guidance at all! Thanks 
Honestly I know very little about the different kinds of certification, scopes, etc. If I leave off any pertinent information let me know and I will rectify it.
This is all info from the WF site.

I''m not sure what any of these numbers mean. Is there really any difference between them? Are they worth it?
