I think i've finally narrowed it to down to two

http://www.eternitybyyoni.com/diamond_detail.php?id=1297581&ref=pricescope

Vendors comments in the stone:
"110% eye clean beautiful white."
Not affected by fluorescence.


or this one

this one kind of darted around the question when asked if the diamond was eye clean or it couldve been a canned answer..

The diamond ideal proportions and measurements, the diamond is white, bright and is eye clean, a 7.5mm spread, a great looking diamond for the budget

The price is firm, the diamond is extremely well priced.

Between these 3 and without IS images, I'd go for the 2nd. The first looks like the arrows are slightly off, and the last doesn't look appealing with those specs. The second is priced right, and the specs look good. I'd be concerned that the vender danced around the eye-clean question. What is the return policy in case the diamond is not eye-clean?
 
1. Since those are all GIA grades, I recommend running all of them through the Holloway Cut Adviser and look for score 2 or less. (If you haven't already done that.)

2. I have to be a Debbie Downer, but an eye-clean SI2 in that size of diamond, with the plot(s) showing most of the inclusions in the table area, is unlikely to be "eyeclean" at close range, except maybe if the inclusions are twinning wisps. Most of the eyeclean-ish SI2 stones are hand-picked very early to be in-house diamonds for some vendor. The ones found on the "virtual list" of stuff held by cutters, wholesales, etc., are likely to have inclusions that are visible without a loupe. A vendor should be able to give you a yes/no answer as to whether or not it meets YOUR standard for eyeclean. If the vendor can't give you a yes, then take that as a no, and keep looking.
