Which one should I choose and why?

[swigertj]

Hey all,

Just curious as to your thoughts to these three stones? Anyone in particular stand out as the better performer, or have any immediate concerns based on the specs? I'll be looking to pull the trigger soon. They are all very close in price and specs. Ive been told they face white. Just looking for some last minute expert 3rd party suggestions.

Thanks so much!

Gosh, they're all very similar. (and beautiful!) I would ask Brian if he had any preferences. I would also want to know which stone "faced up" the whitest. I is a big range, some slightly warm, some really warm. Lastly, I'd want to know which was the most eye-clean. You can trust Brian and Lesley's opinion-they'll be truthful.

Thanks Siamese, I agree, I think I will ask which faces up whitest. I hadn't planned on going into the "I" range so I was most concerned with color. I can usually tell the color diferences but my eyes are so bad I cant ever tell the difference in clarity, atleast not until the very low range.

The trend as one goes down the colour scale is for the range of tints incorporated into a given grade to widen, but one of our board experts (here on PS, but I can't find the thread) states that I is a mutant range, surprisingly narrow, I was surprised to learn.

ETA: agree with asking BGD what they think!

I will have to call and see what they think, I am concerned about dipping into the "I" color. I suppose I could try and get a stone with some strong Flour, but there isnt a huge selection. How do most of you ladies feel? if I dropped down to a 1.75c size I could get a stone with a G or F color.

Would you rather have the 2c "I" color or the 1.75c F-G color? Such as this one?
