Two choices: which diamond would you choose?

Both about the same price. Which would would you choose based on these specs/diagrams? Or would you immediately eliminate both for some reason? Both are eye-clean.

I would be most interested in the second diamond although I would want an Idealscope image, the first is borderline shallow/shallow angles which means it might show darkening due to the shadow of the viewer's head at close inspection ( obstruction). However it appears the second diamond has sizeable clouds as the grade setters, it would be best for an independant appraiser to inspect the diamond to see if these impact brilliance. Have you seen the diamonds in person?

It looks fine, I assume you have seen it in person and the diamond is eyeclean?
