I do really like the more traditional numbers though better than the first one.

Hmmm...being the owner of three stones with feathers on the girdle, this makes me a little biased, but I have to respectfully disagree, esp with a VS2 grading.
I have *never* had any problem with feathers, not even those on my BGD 2.656ct H Si2 nor my 3.50ct H Si2 pear (which I wear now almost on a daily basis). The third stone, a VS2, I've had since 2006 and used to wear all the time and I had it re-set 3 times, and not a single problem.
The only time that I think feathers are truly a problem is when they reach the surface.
The other issue is that when you get to larger stones, ie. 3ct and above, pickings are slim. Something has got to give. But at the end of the day, it's very much about one's own personal preference.
ETA: in the second stone Frankie picked, the feather is not even the grade-setting inclusion.
And in any case, that's what insurance is for. Frankie, do you have insurance on your bling?
