Yes, for plat it's $1k difference for my stone size range. It's $1k extra I could use towards my center. I have a bangin' wedding band that I wouldn't ever replace for sentimental reasons. I do want to get an ACA Annette u-prong eternity as a RHR at some point.

Thinking aloud...I like the sleek minimalist feel of A. And B is so impressive on the finger in person. I think my pics of B weren't very flattering of the ring (nor my finger/hand) . It turns out that the center on B is 2 ct (equiv) and my stone will be smaller at 1.5-1.7 range... it will definitely have a different *look*. The bezel on A was slightly thicker than on B, but both bezel thicknesses were equally engaging and aesthetic to my eye. B had more of a curve on the shoulders, Kalee said that it's due to the larger center size. I think if I went with B, it'd be more a stand alone... I may have to try these on again when I drop off my diamond next month.
And I didn't mention this earlier in the thread, but Kalee was and is fantastic to work with.
Good luck with your decision! One thing that I didn't like about channel set stones is the gunk from lotions and creams that can collect in the crevices. All this can obviously be solved with a good cleaning but I've always been very lazy about cleaning my jewelry. I'm pretty sure that the ring isn't drilled through so it'll be a bit harder to clean the back of the stones without an ultrasonic or something.

If I ever get any type of bezel, it will be that exact setting! It makes the diamond look huge -- Ahhh... it is so beautiful...

Looking at the pics again I have to say my preference for A paired with that specific band is even stronger - I like how they're complete contrasts. I like B, too, and if you were going with a plain band I'd have voted for either, but with that specific band...
I just got an Annette w/ 15pointers as a RHR last month and I LOVE it!! So I think this is a fabulous idea
