Thoughts on these oval lab diamonds?

I currently have a mined oval diamond however I am looking for a better cut one. Below are some I think look well cut and minimal bowtie. Thoughts??

Not an expert... and should be doing paperwork right now lol, but quick thoughts as follows:

1 - nice chunky faceting across the middle, no obvious bow-tie, ends are working well, only windows (goes see through) on the far side / far quarter a bit as it rotates towards 90 degrees.

2 - also decent faceting but IMHO I think it windows perhaps a bit too much when rotating. Also, the facets at the 3 and 9 position seem 'quiet' as it moves, so it might not be active in those areas. (The rest of the stone performs decently, though, to my eyes.) The dark inclusions would be visible to me but my eyes are not your eyes, and my taste is not your taste

3 - very similar thoughts to 2 TBH! except clarity is cleaner.

4 - see 3! lol


To my eyes, 2, 3 and 4 are cut very similarly - it might be that they've all come from the same cutter and been uploaded at the same time?!
