I've finally narrowed my search to two diamonds that pretty much fit exactly what I've been looking for. Both diamonds are Round brilliant, ideal cut, GIA certs, SI1 (confirmed eye clean by trusted source), and both are right around the same price. Also, both diamonds have excellent polish, excellent symmetry and strong blue fluorescence (which I'm okay with).

The first diamond is a G color and scores a 2.5 on the Holloway Cut Advisor.
Table: 56%
Depth: 62.2%
Crown: 35.5
Pavilion: 40.8
Measurements: 7.53 x 7.59 x 4.7mm

The second diamond is an H color and scores a 0.9 on the HCA.
Table: 57%
Depth: 61.7%
Crown: 35.0
Pavilion: 40.5
Measurements: 7.49 x 7.53 x 4.63mm

Both seem like good options, just trying to weigh the G vs H color against the 2.5 vs 0.9 HCA scores.

Any insight or opinions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
 
Both of these would need idealscope images due to there measurements. Can you request them? I'd lean towards #2 with only this much info, but I'd never buy a diamond without a magnified image of the stone and preferably an idealscope image to see if there is leakage.
 
Second diamond, and prefer idealscope

This X2. I would want to see the inclusions on these and go by the IS because the HCA can only tell you which stones to exclude.
