I am new to Pricescope, just wanted your opinions on this diamond, worth $4400 AUS dollars

0.51ct round brilliant VVs2, no fluor, ex polish, cut, symmetry
Crown angle 35.5, pavil angle 40.6, pav depth 42.5, culet 0.4, table size 54.9, total depth 60.6, thin girdle, claimed to be ideal proportions (?)

or should I go for something like these:

Shape : ROUND
Carat Weight : 0.60
Colour : D
Clarity : VVS2
Cut : Excellent -
Symmetry : Excellent
Measurements : 5.42x5.45x3.34
Fluorescence : None
Total Depth : 61.5 %
Table : 55 %

or

Shape : ROUND
Carat Weight : 0.65
Colour : D
Clarity : VS1
Cut : Excellent -
Polish : Excellent
Symmetry : Excellent
Measurements : 5.51x5.55x3.44
Fluorescence : None
Total Depth : 62.2 %
Table : 56 %

Also, should I insist on hearts and arrows?!

Please help, just new to this and don''t want to make a mistake!
 
It looks good by the numbers.

For the other two, we need crown and pavilion angles.

You definitely don't need hearts and arrows to have a great diamond.
 
if they both perform well def get the larger one. Why sacrifice something somewhat visible (the larger size, and dont forget that is nearly 10% more total weight) for something totally invisible (the difference in clarity)?

though personally I say go look at colors and decide if D is truly necessary, if it is aim for a D VS2 or VS1 with less depth percentage so you can really see the benefits of the additional ct weight. otherwise, determine which color you are comfortoable with and aim for maximizing the aparant size within those parameters. One unfortunate side effect-based on my expereinces with my E color diamond--is that diamonds that are so white and clear can often be very difficult to see from the side, which means that even from a profile view it may be difficult to truly appreciate that ct weight difference if it has greater depth percentage, so I say hold out, get somewhat larger of lesser quality--but still very high quality--and get larger size which will be apparant to everyone, not just the very well educated and nosey enough to ask.
