Please compare 3 diamonds for light performance

I am going to buy https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-3950140.htm as it really fits my budget

What I would like to know is is it worth paying $3000 more for one of these two diamonds:
1. https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4293568.htm
2. https://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut-loose-diamond-4187457.htm

Will light performance (Sparkle) be noticeably different?

To be honest, yes the other two you linked will be brighter and are cut better than the one you intend to buy. My choice of the two if you can swing it, would be the 1.36 F VS2. Or would going down to a G color be a possibility to help the budget? This is a beautiful stone for about $2300 more than the stone you are considering.

I would go with the premium select and see how you like it. You can return within 30 days or upgrade to an ACA later. I personally the premium select line fron WF offers the best value and package overall.

Why don't you ask WF to make a video and give you their assessment of whether there's a noticeable difference between the Premium Select and ACA?

I asked and they said sparkle difference would be barely noticeable
