OEC experts - opinions please, video attached

[Dster]

I am on the hunt for a floral OEC around 5.5 to 6mm (can go bigger or slightly smaller), faces up white, no visible inclusions, budget up to $2500.

I have a video of 2 I am considering https://youtu.be/kHpltqduimQ

What is your opinion on these please? Is either a winner? If not is there an OEC out there that you could suggest please?

I am in Australia so it is incredibly difficult to see any in person.
Thankyou so much for any help you are able to give

I like the .87 more. Seems brighter and whiter. I see nice reflections from all around the edges on the .87. The smaller one is very sparkly too, but some center facets don't seem to light up as much.

I like the .87 better too. What are the specs on each (color/clarity)?

The .87 is graded by EGL & is a H SI1, the other is GIA graded H VVS2.
I'm hesitant because the .87 is at the top of my budget and it's difficult from the video to know if it's the one for me. Sometimes I think it looks a bit like a water lily which I love, other times I think it looks like a mess. It's really difficult to know what it would look like in person.

I vote for the .87 too - it's bright edge to edge and sparkly. Can you buy it and return it if you don't like it?

Another vote for the larger stone.

.87...the .64 has facets along the girdle that are not lighting up so you dont even get the look of a .64. .87 lighting up better
across the stone.

My vote is for the larger stone also. Can you get a still photo up close so we can see the facet pattern and the culet?

Thankyou very much for your replies so far. It is making me feel more comfortable with the 0.87. I have asked about if it is eye clean after seeing this photo. (I did specify eye clean to the vendor when I asked for diamonds to be suggested).
