I think, sight unseen and all that, I would choose #1
higher color AND clarity for less money.

#2 is a good choice, too, the table and depth % are in the low 60''s where, I guess, ''ideally'' they should be.

Do you have the ability to see any of them before you purchase? Can you ask the sellers to take a look at them and give you some input?

I don''t really like the numbers on any of them. ECs aren''t really my thing, but I don''t think any of those would qualify as ideal or premium cuts because of the table/depth. This might help.

According to some of the info, the table/depth on EC''s should be in the low 60''s - mine are in the 69-70 range and my stone is a stunner.
I think it''s a matter of personal preference.
