Really hard to say without more info.....crown/pavilion angles would be helpful.

other than the possibly imperceptible difference in size and color, these diamonds look exactly the same on paper. there is nothing here that would help anyone choose one over the other. as alj mentioned, c/p angles might be helpful. i would also suggest an idealscope or aset image.

Okay I am not 100% which angles you are requesting. Here is a link to the Blue Nile page that compares these diamonds side by side and a link to the GIA report.

I posted a link that allows you to get to the GIA reports which might have these measurements. It seems like these diamonds are pretty similar. Would you be able to tell the color difference between an F and G and is this a decent buy? I just want to make sure I am buying a diamond that I am going to be happy with.

I followed your link, but got this message.

Based on the info here, I would take the first one. It is larger, cheaper, a better color and wider spread (slightly). I happen to like strong blue fluoresence. Ask them if it in any way affects the normal day lite appearance of the stone.

The other stone is "too" clean for me at VVS2, you pay more for that and to me VS2 is perfectly fine. This is just my personal opinion based on what you have posted. Most likely they are both lovely stones.
