If you search by cut in the prices, there are a couple that are in a similar price range with an excellent cut. For me, I would always go for an excellent cut rather than very good.

Using the AGA-NAJA CUt Class grader it gets a final grade of 2B.

Crown Height % 13.0% Grade: 2A
Pavilion Depth % 44.0% Grade: 2A
Girdle Thickness Medium to Thick Grade: 2B
Total Depth % 61.10% Grade: 1A
Polish Excellent / Very Good Grade: 1A * Not a primary determining factor.
Symmetry Excellent / Very Good Grade: 1A * Not a primary determining factor.

The HCA indicates it will likely be a pretty lively stone, but I don''t think it is a top cut stone, either. Its okay to compromise some on cut just like one generally does on color and clarity, but many here will tell you cut is of very great importance. I tend to agree, although I am not a total perfection devotee.

Probably the only good reasons to get a shallow-crown, larger-tabled, non-ideal stone are to increase spread or get a lower price.

Since there are cheaper TICS with similar apparent size, it is not a good deal.
