Please help me choose a BN diamond from the final 4

[dooly26]

After much deliberation, I have decided to go with a diamond from bluenile. I preferred to go with a company where you can see the diamond, but after talking with the gf and going with my own gut feeling, I really wanted to go with a setting that my gf loves. I didn't want to settle for a setting that she doesn't like as much, especially since she herself said she probably cant tell the difference between differently graded diamonds and that the setting is important to her.

With that said, I will take the risk of having to send back the diamond from BN if I don't like it. I have also opted to go for a VS2 clarity to ensure there are no visible inclusions to the naked eye.

I have finalized my pick to the 4 below and would love some suggestions/opinions on which one to select. Due to my budget, I would prefer not to go to the budget for #4, unless you guys really think it is worth that much extra based on the extra size and stats.

Anyway, please give me your opinions based on the stats below. Thanks in advance!

#1 is the biggest of 1-3, and much less expensive than 4.

 

[dooly26]

Do you think the medium fluorescence in #1 would be a problem?

Double check with Blue Nile about eye-cleanliness and fluoro haziness. It is very rare.

I think I am down to #1 and #3. I notice the GIA report lists twinning wisp and feather for #1 and crystal for #3 for the clarity characteristics.

Without having seen the diamond, would one be favorable over the other?

Twinning wisps are a good flaw to have. Less noticeable than others. Plus, negative fluor issues are rare, and I think they only really over blue at "strong", rarely at medium, I'd feel comfortable buying a medium fluor without fear. Plus, gold return policy with BN if for some reason it had an issue. I wouldn't think so though.
