These diamonds are two different sizes, so I don''t think it is the best comparison. Do you want larger or smaller? I''d take the 1.29, assuming the inclusions are acceptable. I''d want to see the plot of inclusions on the certificate before deciding, but of the two, this one will obviously appear larger.

Sort of agree with DS, except that I appreciate this IS your decision set. Both look nice. The smaller one''s HCA score is not as good, somewhat, but you''ve got a lot of supporting performance stats on both to show both are likely lovely. The additional clarity for the smaller does not add much value, but...the $1700 differential is what could readily drive the decision. If that is non consequential, the larger option, with fine make would be a clear preference, otherwise.
