So I bought the following diamond online from a well known online retailer for $11K (originally listed for $11,540) and have the diamond in hand. I still have plenty of time to return the diamond, but plan on making my decision by Thursday.

I gave my local jeweler 2 weeks to get me something comparable. He couldn't find anything with the same specs, so he found me something slightly larger. Below is the diamond from my local jeweler, which I will see Thursday. He's seen both diamonds and says they are both "eye clean." He is willing to sell the diamond below for $10,800.

Assuming I like the 2nd one when I see it and it is "eye clean," is there any reason not to go with the 2nd one?

Thanks for everyone's help throughout this process!
 
I prefer the smaller table on the first one, but with numbers as the only info, I would choose the second one because it will be visually larger than the other assuming it is eyeclean. Look at it very carefully to be sure. I think it is great your local jeweler was willing to find you a stone and match or beat the price!
 
Both stones are very nice and have HCA score of 1.4 and 1.7. Stone #1 has better scintillation than #2 based on HCA tool. I would pick stone # 2 for larger table.
 
Yeah, I'm definitely going to look at it and make sure it's eye clean. I'm leaning towards #2, but it is always interesting to see what the experts have to say.
