I prefer the clarity of the smaller stone, but the larger size of the second - of course it has feather right on the table, so depending on how it looks, it may be right out. I can go and take a look at them both, but not until after Thanksgiving and I'd rather not make the drive if the numbers aren't right. We aren't in a rush, so if neither look promising, feel free to tell us to take a pass. ;)

(We're looking the 20k range, around 3 ct, prefer a lower color I-L, but better cut and clarity.) Nothing lower than VS2 if possible. Suggestions welcome! I've been trolling the antique shops and only found one so far, but the stats were bad, carbon spots, and they wanted $41k - HA!
 
There's no way to assess a fancy cut without photos. The specs only tell you so much. The rest is how appealing it is to your eye. Can you get a couple of pics?
