Which 1ct RB would you choose?

Hi guys, I''m a long time lurker but i''m looking for some advice. I have a budget of around 8,500 for a diamond +- 500 and I''ve been looking around and have 2 diamonds in mind.

1.08 H VS1 - http://www.goodoldgold.com/diamond/4448/

1.00 F VS1 - http://search.virtcert.com/cgi/u/1012/v.cgi?stock=7911601&_s=1012&_p=sdf348gd743&_c=&_fs=1&prestock=&_ln=ps

Of those 2 in above, which would you choose?

I would go with Good Old Gold because they give you much more information so you know you are buying an awesome stone. The other one doesn''t have crown or pavilion angles (unless I missed it), which you really need in order to know about performance. The GOG one is a sure thing!

Based on that info I would take the GOG diamond, as it is a top cut and a lovely colour clarity combo. There isn''t enough info on the other stone to make an informed decision. can you get crown and pavillion angles? And an IS image for the other stone? If not, I would stick to the GOG one.
