Decided to make a new thread since totally different to the last two stones, hope that's alright!

Stone 1:
0.53 carat
SI 1 >>>> cloud/crystal (I think these inclusions aren't too big a deal?)
F colour
Excellent cut/polish/symmetry
HCA 0.8, EX EX EX VG
No FL/Culet
£1820

Stone 2:
0.5 carat
VS2 >>>> feather/pinpoint (concerned about this, assume worst location possible)
F colour
Excellent cut/polish/symmetry
HCA 1.1 EX EX EX VG
No FL/Culet
£1850

Unfortunately no pics.
 
With that small amount of information, I would choose #2 since it would have a greater chance of being eyeclean at VS2. I don't personally buy without magnified pictures and an idealscope image, though.
 
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the site I am forced to buy from (exchange with vendor) doesn't show images. However here are the report numbers if anyone wants to take a look:

6152892569 for the £1820 stone

1145955984 for the £1850 stone

Just noticed it is a needle not a pinpoint on the VS2.

This is an SI2 not a VS2


Proportions on both are equally "safe" or "risky" by the numbers - no use trying to nitpick without more information.
First one is larger by diameter, higher clarity, and cheaper, so without more information that's my pick of the two. Did you post the wrong report number?
 
Ah sorry about that! That's the problem with comparing so many stones at once lol got mixed up, here is the correct number: 5126660644.
Still interested in these stones but currently spotted a couple more that seem better value (might make another thread for them but researching them myself more first as I don't want to spam threads).

Thank you for your input. Your comparison was not in vain by the way as that was another stone I was looking at :).
