I’m deciding between 3 diamonds, 2 are J and one is I with medium blue fluor

What do you guys and gals think is the best out of the 3 by looking at the specs? Idealscope images are unlikely because these are from overseas vendors. The SI2’s are eye clean.

The I VS2 is smaller, but it seems like it has some nice specs. I'm having a hard time deciding between J or I.

1.24 I VS2 ~$6100
6.97x6.99x4.19

Medium Blue Fluor
Depth: 60%
Table: 58%
Crown Angle: 32.5
Pavilion Angle 40.8
HCA 0.9

1.32 J SI2 ~$6000
7.06x7.09x4.33

No Fluor
Depth: 61.2%
Table: 57%
Crown Angle: 34
Pavilion Angle 41
HCA 1.4


1.27 J SI2 ~$6300
7.08x7.10x4.18

No Fluor
Depth: 58.9%
Table: 59%
Crown Angle: 33
Pavilion Angle 40.8
HCA 1.0
 
No thoughts?
 
no one's replying because there's only so much you can infer from numbers.

Numbers alone do not give you sufficient information on which to choose.
 
Have you seen the diamonds in person? Do you have magnified images of them? SI2 is risky unless you have some images. I'd far rather have an I VS2 anyday over J SI2, but I do not like that particular I stone. You need to look for crown angles between 34-35 and pavilion angles 40.6-41.0. The third one is the only one that falls in the measurements that I personally consider.
 
With the face-up dimensions of those three tones, I really do not believe you will see any size difference whatsoever among them.

If I had to choose one of the three simply based on numbers, I would definitely pick #1 - the I-VS2 with medium blue fluor - the crown angle is a bit flat at 32.5% and the table ever so slightly large at 58% - but the stone likely will be quite brilliant with a lot of white light return (and somewhat less colored fire than if the crown was higher and the table smaller). I do not care for the other two and would not consider them myself.
