Please help me analyze these Princess IS/ASET scopes! Cut Nut and others?

I've been debating with myself between these two stones, and I can't make up my mind. Please point me in the right direction! They are both AGS 0's so I'm just looking for the stone that edges out the other! Thanks!!

1. The stone on top (H color) is 1/10 carat bigger (and about 2/10 of a milimeter more on length and width) than the bottom stone (F color).
2. The smaller F color stone is also 800 dollars more. Clarity is identical.
3. The top stone is 3-chevron and the bottom stone is 4-chevron.

We can reference the images on top as Stone #1 and the images on bottom as stone #2

I have a slight leaning toward the botom stone because of the red green distribution

Thanks Cut Nut! Do you think the bottom one is worth the extra 800 bucks given the size and color differences?

Hmm, the cost thing is very personal cause it just depends on what you value. I personally think the difference in spread is too little to really matter. So it comes down to whether you want to spend $800 more on a "F" color stone that has better light properties.

The H looks like it''ll have slightly more dead spots (places that don''t reflect light) and the light is mainly coming from the center.

The F on the other hand, is evenly reflecting light from all over, and has fewer dead spots.

Both stones are probably in the top 5% of princess diamonds out there, so either way your GF will be very pleased.

I would go with Garry's pick.
