I agree with you that they should get a solitaire and then reset down the line. Also, I wouldn't go with a cheaper designer for this particular design. As you can see, pave really takes some great skills and there's not many designers that can do it well. That's one of the reasons for the premium pricing.

She went through a couple of setting changes and settled on Victor, who does superior pave work. So regardless of the ring, I would have Victor make it over MB.
However, in the case here, I think she said on another thread that her total budget is $10k for the ring, so I would not recommend spending $5k for a setting regardless. I'd spend $9700 on the diamond now and have Victor make the setting for an anniversary or something.
