I am comparing two stones, these stone has exact same color, carat, clarity and cutting grade. GIA certified.

1. 3.02 carat Fcolor Si1 No Fluorescence
56 table
33 crown angle
14% crown
40.8 pavilion angle
43% pavilion
60.7 depth
med - slightly thick
9.34*9.37*5.68
one big inclusion on the table(crystal, feather and clouds), eye clean but more visible than the other

2. 3.02 carat Fcolor Si1 No Fluorescence
57 table
34 crown angle
15% crwon
41.2 pavilion angle
44% pavilion
62.1 Depth
medium
9.25* 9.29* 5.75
spreaded inclusion, mostly white clouds on the table, less visible than the other

Which one is better? Do you think number 2 stone is too stiff? Even the inclusion is more visible, still number 1 is better diamond??? Once I see the both at the same time, number 1 stone looks bigger than the other. The price of number 2 is a little cheaper but not noticeble.

Please advise me. it is really kind of stressful!!! Help me , please!!!
Thank you.
 
Numbers for #1 are better and you say it looks bigger to you. Does it also look better, brighter, more sparkly? Are you ok with the inclusion? If yes, then #1 is a better choice or keep looking. I personally wouldn't go for #2.
 
Thank you.

Actually # 1 looks bigger but I cannot see any difference like brighter and saprky because the lighting is too bright there.
I could not see the ideal scope picture so I have to choose only with naked eye.

the number 2 is really bad proportion like never go with? Actually the both are triple excellent cut.
 
The numbers on #2 are not within recommended range. If you check HCA, it scores over 3.

You are spending quite a bit of money on a 3ct stone and should be able to examine it thoroughly. I'm sure the store can accommodate viewing in other lighting besides the bright jewelry stores ones. Ask to view besides a window or in a back office or even outside with security guard by your side.
