IMO AGS' performance-based cut grading makes it worthy of further investigation if you are interested, but it is not sold as a H&A stone if that is important to you.

AGS dqr, not dqd, so different set of requirements for the 0 cut grade. DQR is proportions-based standard like GIA, no light performance ray tracing simulation, treat it like a GIA document. Could be nice by the numbers, need more info from a full scan or pictures.
I'm learning A LOT! Thank you! (You're right - I am a bit perplexed but THRILLED I didn't buy a darn EGL graded stone!)
