Which of these two stones would you choose?

Hello all- new member here. Been following the board for sometime as I have started my research to pick out a good stones. I was wondering what your thoughts were on the following two stones at a similar price point. Is the 1.7 SI1 worth taking a chance on for the extra size? Of course the companies will all tell me this is eye clean but I have a tough time believing a reseller.

I had planned on buying a K stone to begin with - so I am aware of the color difference between the two.

Thank you for your help!

The 1.45 has a nice ASET, so you are buying with some guarantee of a well performing stone. The 1.7 scores under 2 on the HCA, which is good, but I always worry a bit with GIA stones that don't have any advanced images. I would want the extra size so I might go with the 1.7 and then buy an ASET scope to check performance / make sure there isn't leakage.
