Looks like you chose the best one of the bunch to me! Congrats! Please come back and show us the ring!

These all appear to be very nice diamonds, but I don''t see any reason to change from your first choice. Like Diamondseeker said be sure to post pictures for us!

Another vote for the first choice! Should be gorgeous!

The reason I''m thinking of switching is because in the ideal scope image of choice1, the base of the arrows aren''t even...so the star in the middle looks very uneven.

Choice2 is a new line with very even arrows, but the HCA score is 2.1 with vg-vg-vg-vg

Choice3 is classic and has good arrow symettry, and a HCA score of 1.6, but is the smallest by only a hair.

Am I being to picky??? The people at WF say that you can''t tell with the human eye, but I''ll know that it isn''t "perfect" Am I just being too much??? Please ADvise

well, you can tell that the stone is tilted downward just a bit in the idealscope image, which is throwing off the arrows so i wouldn't get too worried over it. i totally understand the need for dissecting everything down to the minutia but it's really not necessary. these are things that your eyes will never see. that said, if you *need* a perfect idealscope image to make your package complete, then get one. but if the one diamond has everything you want, don't let a tilted image discourage you. the days of actually deciding on 'the one' are the hardest. you are going to breathe a big sigh of relief (full of happiness) once you have that baby in your hand!
just do it.

btw..i like the first one too.

As Belle said, a diamond being tilted even a slight amount can affect how these photos look. A stone doesn''t get to be A Cut Above unless it is ideal in optical symmetry. I do think you are overanalyzing the idealscope picture. Your stone is just fine!!!
