comparing IS images

The ACA is 6320, the other is 6077

The F isn't so clear b/c of the twinning wisps. Jamie at WF assured me it was eye clean.

Is it worth the extra $300 for the ACA even though it's H color? ie. would I be able to notice the better cut?

In mine opinion yes, but then I would be happier knowing that it has the ACA tick of approval so to speak.

I also prefer the look of the IS image and mag image for the ACA.

i''ll take the H color.

My preference would also be the H, but I am sure the F would also be a lovely stone, you will end up with a winner whichever you pick.

Thanks for your opinions everyone, I think I''m leaning towards the H color ACA as well. The only reason I''m still thinking about the other stone is for the F color. I was just curious to know if you would be able to tell the difference between the two if you were to put them side by side without any magnification.
