I stopped by Whiteflash earlier today, so I was able to look at these Diamonds in person. I have nothing but positive things to say after visiting the shop.
I was thinking of keeping my budget in the 10k range but I am feeling a bit flexible. After searching for a while and picking out a few from their website I was able to pick a few that I thought would be good to take a look at in person and fit my category. I stopped by and took a look at maybe 7 different diamonds from several I had already narrowed it down to from online
Please let me know what you guys sincerely think. Thanks for the help in advance.
They were all around the same category 1-1.4K. H-I VSI-VS2 All Eye Clean and Expert Selection.

I was really only looking at either 1 carat or 1.4 carat, But the lady I was working with suggested something in the middle since the .903 looked a bit too small and pulled out this 1.28. This helped me narrow it down between the 1.28 and the 1.44

The one I kept on reserve, 1.28, looked a tiny bit smaller than the 1.401, but the 1.401 looked a bit more cloudy to me and something about the color stood out on the 1.28 as well. Right away when they were compared it just looked better to me.
1.401

This was the one I ended up putting down a deposit on to keep it on hold.
1.28 This was at $8,493 about 2k cheaper than the 1.401 and just looked a tiny fraction smaller. From what you guys see here on the computer, do you guys think I made the right choice? The one I picked is also GIA certified while the others were AGS.

Or if you guys see something else that looks good at the price range please point them out. Luckily for me, Whiteflash is only a 30 min drive from my work so I can look at anything in person.
