Should I be concerned about this cut?

I am considering a diamond that's graded by GIA as Triple-ex. Even though this has HCA score of "1.6 - Excellent within TIC range", I am concerned that this doesn't have most common proportions in ideal grade of ~34.5 degrees for crown and ~40.8 degrees for pavilion.



Should I be concerned that this will be low on Scintillation, fire, brilliance and perhaps prone to chipping? I am considering prong setting.

Can any experts share their view? Thanks!

I personally do not think a low crown angle is as attractive especially in a profile view as a higher one especially for a ring, so I try to keep the crown angle between 34 and 35. There are plenty of diamonds out there, so I'd keep looking.
 
I should have mentioned that this is for pendant and not a ring.

What kind of limitations can I expect in this cut?
