I like the first one because it''s 10% cheaper, larger and scores better on HCA (1.4, Ex, Ex, Ex, VG)
However, since I "might" mount it on a tension setting, Brian at Whiteflash saw that there''s a feather near the girdle. This might cause a problem for tension settings. Therefore, he found me diamond 2 that is free from that defect. However diamond 2 scored an HCA (1.8, EX, VG, VG, VG)

Which should I pick? Thank You!

i think you need to decide on how you are going to set it.
