This is an excellent/excellent vvs1 princess ASET?

I'm new to looking at these ASET images, but something doesn't seem right with this. How can a stone be excellent/excellent VVS1 with an ASET image that looks like this? Isn't all of that white leakage?

Here's the link to the stone:

Here's the images I got from them:

Yep. White color is leakage. For a princess cut diamond, the ASET is pretty excellent.

Really? When I look at other ASET's like these:

They have almost no white/black in them. And when looking at guides like this, I was matching this more towards poor due to all the leakage:

Whiteflash's diamond doesn't impress me on the ASET. They are using a black background for ASET. In that case, black is leakage. There's too much contrast in the middle which would probably make the diamond look dark on a straight face up view.

Good old gold's one is pretty similar too except that it is slightly better. Just be ready to pay the premium.

Bear in mind that you are comparing the cream of the crop. 90% of the princess cuts won't even come close to such optics.
