PS Help - Which RB would you choose for a 3 stone? IS images

[rocksjust4me]

I need PS expert help. I am searching for a center stone for a three stone RHR, I am thinking about 5.2 mm sides to go with one of the following stones as a center. All three are stated to be eye clean and the ideal scope images are below. Also, stone #3 is about $2000 less than #1 & #2, is the size difference worth it? Thank you for your help!!

#1. Why? Higher crown angle.The other's have crown angles that are too shallow. They IS out well, but will not be fiery in real life.

And I also like the 7mm size. I would probably go with smaller sides by far though. I would go no bigger than this: http://www.jamesallen.com/loose-diamonds/round-cut/0.40-carat-h-color-vs2-clarity-ideal-cut-sku-363996

And honestly? Probably smaller with a 7mm center stone. SO for me, 25-30 pointers.

Put the 2k in the center. And go down is size on the sidestones. It will have better proportionality. And also be budget balanced.

Thank you Gypsy! I think I will go with #1 as the center.

For the sides even for a RHR you think the smaller .30 sides? I am looking one of the following settings. I like the center stone to sit up just a little higher than the sides, but I do not want it to look like an engagement ring.

I waited too long and Stone #1 is no longer available. Can you tell me what you think about this stone?
